Hi there! Are you ready for some fun stories and songs? Let’s go on a little adventure together!
Once upon a time, there was a yummy cake that smelled so good! Someone wanted to hide it to surprise their friend, Mew Mew. Surprises are so much fun, don’t you think?
There was a funny wolf who liked to run up the roof. Every time the clock went “tick-tock,” the wolf would run again. Can you say “Hickory dickory dock” with me? It’s a silly rhyme!
Wow! Look at that beautiful gingerbread house! And there’s a cute gingerbread man too. Do you like gingerbread men? They are so tasty and fun to make. Let’s build a gingerbread house together!
Did you ever sneak a candy or a cookie? It’s okay to enjoy treats sometimes. Just remember to share and have fun with your friends!
The gingerbread man wants to go back home. Can you promise not to eat him? It’s important to keep our promises!
Oh no! The bridge fell down! We need help from the Monster Club. Can you sing “London Bridge is falling down” with me? Let’s fix the bridge together!
Yay! We built the strongest iron bridge. It’s so strong and safe. Great job, everyone!
There’s a magical vending machine that gives surprises to make you happy. If you’re feeling blue, red, or purple, it has a special surprise just for you. How do you feel today?
Let’s sing about the itsy bitsy spider! The spider went up the water spout, but the rain washed it out. Then the sun came out, and the spider climbed up again. Can you sing along?
Thanks for joining me on this fun adventure! I hope you enjoyed the stories and songs. See you next time!
Build Your Own Gingerbread House: Gather some simple materials like graham crackers, frosting, and candies. Work together to build a small gingerbread house. As you build, talk about the shapes and colors you are using. Ask questions like, “What do you think will happen if we add more frosting here?” or “How can we make our house stronger?” This activity helps children understand construction and creativity while having fun.
Role Play the Stories: Choose a story from the lesson, like “The Silly Wolf and the Clock” or “The Gingerbread Adventure,” and act it out with your friends or family. Use simple props or costumes if you like. Encourage children to express how the characters might feel and what they might say. Ask questions such as, “How do you think the wolf feels when the clock goes tick-tock?” or “What would you do if you were the gingerbread man?” This helps develop empathy and imagination.
Promise Keeper Activity: Discuss the importance of keeping promises, just like the promise not to eat the gingerbread man. Create a “Promise Chart” where children can write or draw a promise they want to keep, such as sharing toys or helping a friend. Check back in a week to see how well they kept their promises. Ask, “How did it feel to keep your promise?” or “What was challenging about keeping your promise?” This encourages responsibility and reflection.
