ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten CHILDREN’S BOOK | Hug Machine By Scott Campbell | READ ALOUD
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have a fun story time. Are you ready? Let’s read a book called “Hug Machine” by Scott Campbell. It’s all about someone who loves to give hugs!
Here comes the Hug Machine! The Hug Machine is super good at giving hugs. Everyone loves the Hug Machine’s hugs because they make people feel happy and special.
The Hug Machine hugs everything it sees! Big things, small things, soft things, and even hard things. Nothing can escape the Hug Machine’s hugs!
Sometimes, the Hug Machine hugs things that are spiky or really big. But that’s okay because the Hug Machine can hug anything!
Do you know what the Hug Machine eats to keep hugging all day? It’s pizza! Yum! Pizza gives the Hug Machine lots of energy to keep hugging.
After a long day of hugging, the Hug Machine gets tired. But don’t worry, the Hug Machine is always ready for more hugs, except on special holidays.
We hope you enjoyed the story of the Hug Machine. If you want to hear more fun stories, come back and join us again. See you next time!
Hug Hunt: Go on a “hug hunt” around your home or classroom. Find different objects that you think the Hug Machine would like to hug. Try to find at least one big thing, one small thing, one soft thing, and one hard thing. Share with your friends or family why you chose each object and how it felt to hug them.
Create Your Own Hug Machine: Use craft materials like paper, markers, and glue to create your own version of the Hug Machine. Think about what makes your Hug Machine special. Does it have long arms for hugging? Does it wear a special hat? Once you’ve made your Hug Machine, tell a story about what it hugs and why.
Hug Energy Experiment: Just like the Hug Machine gets energy from pizza, think about what gives you energy. Is it a favorite food, a fun activity, or a good night’s sleep? Draw a picture of what gives you energy and share it with the class. Discuss how different things can make us feel ready to give hugs and be kind to others.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Today’s book is “Hug Machine” by Scott Campbell. Let’s get started!
“Hug Machine” by Scott Campbell. Here I come! I am the hug machine. I’m very good at hugging—the best at hugging. No one can resist my unbelievable hugging.
I am the hug machine! Does he take quarters? How about debit? What about Venmo? I’ll give you an IOU. My hugs calm people down, cheer them up, and make them go completely nuts.
I hug everything I see. No one escapes the hug machine!
Hey, bro, you okay? Now he’s just hugging stuff. Awesome! My hugs make the biggest feel small and the smallest feel big. I hug soft things, hard things, square things, long things. I am the hug machine!
You could pay me to hug a snake. Hug it for $20? You take an IOU? Oh, do you need a hug? I think you do! Hug accomplished!
There’s nothing the hug machine will not hug.
What about me? I am so spiky; no one ever hugs me. They are missing out!
What about me? Surely I am too big for you to hug. Of course not—not for the hug machine!
People often ask what the hug machine eats to keep the hugging energy high. Oil? Gasoline? Solar power? 9-volt batteries? Stars? Well, the answer is pizza! The hug machine likes pizza very much.
What a tiring day of hugging! The hug machine is exhausted.
Oh, why yes, you may hug the hug machine! The hug machine is always open for business—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—except for federally recognized holidays like Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and for some reason, Arbor Day.
