Today is a special day! We are not staying at home. Daddy packed lots of yummy food, and we are going on a picnic! What do you want to eat? I want a pudding cake! Yummy, yummy picnic cake! What about you, Nick? A piece of strawberry cake sounds delicious!
Uh-oh, an ant is here! Don’t worry. Just use a handkerchief to say bye-bye to the little ant. Remember, don’t scratch it. Put on some ointment, and you won’t feel it anymore. Good job, Mimi!
Oh no, a fly landed on the doughnut! We have to throw it away because flies can have bad germs that make us sick. It’s okay, we can let it go and stay healthy!
Someone is hurt! Let’s hurry and help them. The medical rescue team is here! Little doctor and little nurse, let’s check the heartbeat. It’s alright, don’t worry. We’ll take a bandage from the kit and wrap the leg. All done!
Let’s pretend to be a fire truck! I’m really good at putting out fires. Look, there’s black smoke over there. It’s a fire! Let’s use the fire hose to put it out. Yay, we did it!
Oops, I put out the campfire by mistake! I’m sorry, my friends. But don’t worry, if there’s a real fire, I’ll be there to help!
There’s another truck! Let’s take that truck and go home. Mr. Dog said one box of hamburgers was missing, and I think we found it!
Look, a candy shop! Let’s wait here for a moment. Hello, little kid! Let’s go watch the parade together. Follow me!
Oh no, we got stuck in the mine! We need help! Monster car rescue team, we need you! Here comes the monster truck with a big cargo bed. Let’s go!
Look, there goes the siren again! The monster car rescue team is on the way to save the day!
Picnic Food Sorting: Gather some toy food items or draw pictures of different foods. Ask the children to sort them into two groups: foods they would take on a picnic and foods they wouldn’t. Discuss why certain foods are better for picnics, such as those that don’t spoil easily or attract insects.
Ant and Fly Observation: Take the children outside to observe ants and flies in their natural environment. Encourage them to watch how these insects move and interact with their surroundings. Ask questions like, “What do you think the ant is looking for?” or “Why do you think the fly landed there?” This will help them understand the importance of keeping food covered during a picnic.
Rescue Role Play: Set up a simple first aid station with bandages and toy medical kits. Let the children take turns being the “little doctor” or “little nurse” and practice wrapping a bandage around a doll or stuffed animal. Discuss the importance of helping others and staying calm in emergencies.
