Once upon a time, there was a group of friends who loved to play and explore. They had some cool tools like pliers, a hammer, a clamp, and a screwdriver. They even had a yummy pineapple wrap to snack on!
One day, Duck was using the tools to build something fun. Everyone cheered, “Great job, Duck!” But remember, it’s important to be careful when using tools. Always ask an adult for help!
Suddenly, something surprising happened. Duck had a little accident, but don’t worry! Duck was okay because he landed on something soft. “Bouncy landings make happy endings,” they all laughed. The most important thing was that Duck was safe and sound.
Duck had a special talent. He could tell fortunes, just like a fortune cookie! His friend asked, “Hey Duck, what’s my fortune?” Duck said, “Something you lost will soon turn up.” This made everyone think about their own lost things. One friend remembered, “Has anyone seen my lollipop?”
Everyone thought Duck was amazing. He wasn’t just a regular duck; he was psychic and interesting! They all enjoyed spending time with him and learning about his special gift.
And so, the friends continued to have fun, using their tools safely and enjoying Duck’s fortune-telling adventures. They learned that being careful and having a little magic in their lives made every day exciting!
Tool Safety Adventure: Gather some child-friendly tools like plastic hammers, screwdrivers, and clamps. With the help of an adult, create a simple project like building a small birdhouse or a paper tower. As you work, talk about why it’s important to use tools safely and how each tool helps in building. Can you think of other things you can build with these tools?
Fortune Telling Fun: Create your own fortune-telling game! Write simple fortunes on small pieces of paper, such as “You will find something special today” or “A fun surprise is coming your way.” Fold them and place them in a jar. Take turns picking a fortune and share what you think it means. How does it feel to imagine what might happen next?
Lost and Found Adventure: Go on a treasure hunt around your home or classroom. Look for items that might have been misplaced, like a missing toy or a lost pencil. Once you find something, think about how it feels to find something you thought was lost. Can you remember a time when you lost something and found it again?
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“pliers, hammer, clamp, pineapple wrap, screwdriver. Be careful! Next, great job, Duck! I knew that nothing bad could ever possibly happen in a million years. No, stay with me, buddy, you’re gonna be okay. Lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Oh no, poor Duck! Anyone want pineapple wrap? No? Okay, Piggy, eat. Duck, you’re okay. Bouncy landings make happy endings. Well, the important thing is you’re alive. Traveling rodents mean you harm. He sounds like a fortune cookie. Hey Duck, what’s my fortune? Something you lost will soon turn up. That reminds me, has anyone seen my lollipop? Hey, there’s something interesting about Duck. Not weird, he’s just psychic. Okay, he’s psychic and interesting.”
