ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 Ames McNamara Plays Wash the Squid Game! | The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo
In a fun and exciting moment, Ames McNamara, a young TV star, joined Elmo, the furry red monster, for a bath time adventure. Elmo asked a silly question: “Bubbles, or no bubbles?” This started a fun game that showed how important it is to stay clean and have fun during bath time.
Bath time is not just about getting clean; it’s an important way to keep our bodies healthy. Taking baths helps wash away dirt and germs, keeping us fresh and healthy. Bath time is also a great time for parents and kids to spend time together and learn about taking care of themselves in a fun way.
Ames and Elmo played a fun game called “Wash That Squid.” The goal was to clean a toy squid as fast as they could using long brushes. This game was not only fun but also showed how important it is to clean things well.
As the clock ticked down, Ames and Elmo scrubbed their squids with lots of energy and laughter. This showed how games can make learning about staying clean fun for kids.
In a surprising end, both Ames and Elmo cleaned their squids so well that the game ended in a tie! This showed that having fun and learning together is more important than winning or losing.
Ames McNamara and Elmo’s fun bath time game reminded us how enjoyable bath time can be. By playing games like “Wash That Squid,” kids can learn about keeping clean while having a great time. Parents and caregivers can make bath time a special part of the day by encouraging playful learning, helping kids feel good about taking care of themselves.
Bubble Experiment: At your next bath time, try an experiment with bubbles! Ask a grown-up to help you fill the bathtub with water and add some bubble bath soap. Notice how the bubbles form and float on the water. Can you make different shapes with the bubbles? Try to create a bubble mountain or a bubble hat. Talk about what you see and feel. How do the bubbles change when you touch them?
Clean the Toy Challenge: Just like Ames and Elmo, you can have your own “Wash That Toy” challenge at home. Pick a waterproof toy, like a rubber duck or a plastic dinosaur, and set a timer for 30 seconds. Use a small brush or a sponge to clean the toy as fast as you can. Ask a family member to join you and see who can clean their toy the best. Remember, it’s all about having fun and learning how to keep things clean!
Observation Question: After your bath, think about how you feel. Do you feel fresh and clean? Why do you think it’s important to wash away dirt and germs? Talk with a family member about why keeping clean is important for staying healthy. Can you think of other times during the day when it’s important to wash your hands or clean up?
