Hello, friends! Today, we have something very exciting planned. Are you ready to find out what it is?
First, let’s say hello to our friends. There’s Alice, Milky, Alex, Phil, and Duke. They are all here to have fun with us today!
Alex has a big surprise for everyone! Do you like surprises? Milky and Phil sure do! They can’t wait to see what Alex has planned.
Phil is trying to guess the surprise. He says, “Surprise!” and wonders if it’s something like that. What do you think the surprise could be?
Everyone is so excited! Surprises are fun because they make us happy and curious. What kind of surprises do you like? Maybe it’s a new toy or a fun game.
Did you know surprises can help us learn? They teach us to be patient and to enjoy the unexpected. So, let’s enjoy our day and see what Alex has in store for us!
Remember, every day can be full of surprises if we look for them. Have a wonderful day, friends!
Surprise Box Activity: Create a “Surprise Box” at home or in the classroom. Ask each child to bring a small item from home that they think would be a fun surprise for their friends. Place all the items in the box without showing them to anyone. During circle time, let each child take turns pulling an item from the box and guessing who brought it and why it might be a surprise. This activity encourages sharing, guessing, and understanding what makes surprises enjoyable.
Surprise Drawing Game: Provide each child with a piece of paper and some crayons or markers. Ask them to draw something that would be a surprise for their friends. Once everyone is done, have a “gallery walk” where children can walk around and look at each other’s drawings. Encourage them to guess what the surprise is and why it might be special. This helps children express their creativity and think about what makes surprises fun for others.
Surprise Story Time: Gather the children and tell them a story with a surprise ending. Pause before revealing the surprise and ask them to guess what might happen next. After the story, discuss how the surprise made them feel and what they learned from it. Encourage them to think about surprises in their own lives and how they can be both fun and educational.
