Today, you will learn how to help Mew-Mew get down from the tree by counting mushrooms and building stairs! You will practice counting numbers in order, like one, two, and three, and understand which numbers come before and after. You will also discover how to work together as a team to solve problems, just like Kiki and her friends did on their adventure. By the end of this lesson, you’ll see how teamwork and counting can help us overcome challenges and keep our friends safe!
Hi there! Today, we’re going on a fun adventure with Kiki and Mew-Mew. They were flying in a hot air balloon, but oh no, it popped! Now, Mew-Mew is stuck in a tree, and we need to help get her down safely.
Kiki and Mew-Mew had a little accident. The balloon popped, and now Mew-Mew is up in a tree. Kiki wants to help, but there’s a problem. Kiki can’t use magic when wet. What can we do?
Kiki has a great idea! We can make stairs using mushrooms to help Mew-Mew get down. Let’s add one mushroom at a time. Can you help us count?
First, we add one mushroom, then two. What numbers come before and after two? Yes, it’s one and three! Let’s keep adding mushrooms until we reach Mew-Mew.
Meanwhile, Red Power and Blue Power are trying to find Kiki and Mew-Mew. They need to go upstream. Which road should they take? The road with two strawberries is the right one!
There’s a story about a mad bull on the road. But don’t worry, Red Power is brave and says there’s no danger. Let’s keep going!
Oh no, the mushroom stairs fell down! But that’s okay. We can build them again. Let’s say it together: Baby Buzz, Magic Math! We need numbers that are close to each other, like one and two.
Thanks to everyone’s help, we built the stairs again. Mew-Mew can now come down safely. Yay! We did it!
That was a close call, but Mew-Mew is safe now. Kiki and Mew-Mew are happy, and so are we. Remember, with teamwork and a little magic, we can solve any problem!
Thanks for joining us on this adventure. See you next time!
Mushroom Counting Game: Let’s play a fun counting game! Gather some small objects like buttons or blocks to pretend they are mushrooms. Start by placing one “mushroom” on the ground. Ask the children to add one more and count together: “One, two!” Continue adding “mushrooms” and counting until you reach ten. Encourage the children to say what number comes before and after each number as they add more “mushrooms.”
Path Finder Activity: Create a simple obstacle course in your classroom or playground. Use two different colored objects, like red and blue cones, to mark paths. Tell the children that they need to find the right path to help Kiki and Mew-Mew. The correct path is the one with two red cones. Encourage them to explore and find the path with the right number of cones, just like finding the road with two strawberries in the story.
Teamwork Tower Building: Divide the children into small groups and give each group a set of building blocks. Challenge them to work together to build a tower as tall as possible without it falling over. Encourage them to discuss and plan how they will build their tower, just like Kiki and friends worked together to build the mushroom stairs. Afterward, discuss how teamwork helped them succeed.
