Today, you will learn how to put things in order by height, like lining up giraffes and fixing stairs! You’ll also think about how to fit magical hats through different doors and help your friends cross a river by building a bridge with boards. Plus, we’ll have fun playing hide and seek and making a sneaky rat slip on banana peels. By the end of our adventure, you’ll be a great helper and have lots of fun with your new skills!
Hello, little friend! I’m a friendly witch, and today we’re going on a magical adventure. Are you ready to help me and my friends? Let’s have some fun!
Oh no! My stairs are all mixed up. Can you help me put them in order from the tallest to the shortest? Thank you for fixing my stairs! You’re amazing!
We need some help, and I think the giraffes can lend us a hand. Let’s line them up from the tallest to the shortest. Great job! The giraffes are happy to help us out!
Look, there are three magical hats! But the doors are all different sizes. How will the hats fit through? Let’s think about it together!
Quick, let’s hide inside the big horn! It’s a fun place to play hide and seek. Can you find us?
Uh-oh! There’s a sneaky rat. Let’s place some banana peels to make the rat slip and slide away. That was funny!
We need to help our friends cross the river. Can you place the boards in order from the shortest to the longest to make a bridge? Thank you! Now everyone can cross safely.
Thanks to your help, we made it home safely! You’re a wonderful friend, and I had so much fun on this adventure with you. Let’s play again soon!
Staircase Sorting Game: At home, gather different objects like books, blocks, or boxes. Try to arrange them from the tallest to the shortest, just like you helped the friendly witch with her stairs. Can you find other things around your house to sort by size?
Giraffe Line-Up: Draw or print pictures of different animals. Cut them out and try to line them up from the tallest to the shortest. You can even use toy animals if you have them. Ask a grown-up to help you measure them with a ruler. Which animal is the tallest? Which one is the shortest?
Magic Hat Experiment: Find three different-sized hats or bowls and three different-sized doors or openings (like a box, a drawer, or a cupboard). Try to see which hat fits through which door. Can you guess which hat will fit before you try it? Talk about why some hats fit and others don’t.
