In this lesson, Michael and his friend BaliBali embark on an adventurous walk where they explore their surroundings by counting clouds, stones, turtles, and frogs. Through engaging activities, they learn to compare numbers, discovering that there are more turtles than frogs and enjoying the excitement of their discoveries. The lesson concludes with a reminder of the fun they had and the anticipation of future adventures.
  1. How many clouds do you think we saw in the sky?
  2. If we have five turtles, how many flowers do we need to feed them?
  3. Who has more friends, the turtles or the frogs?

Let’s Go on a Fun Adventure!

Hello, friends! My name is Michael, and this is my buddy, BaliBali. We love going on walks together. When we walk, we see lots of cool things. Maybe today, we’ll find something exciting!

Counting Clouds and Stones

To have a nice walk, we need good weather. But today, there are lots of clouds in the sky. The sky is so big that it’s hard to count all the clouds. Can you imagine how many there might be?

Now, let’s look at the ground. There are some stones here. Let’s count them because they stay still. Ready? One, two, three, four, five! Wow, these stones look like little turtles!

Feeding the Turtles

The turtles look hungry. Let’s give each turtle a flower to eat. How many flowers do we need? We need five flowers because there are five turtles. Let’s count the flowers: one, two, three, four, five!

Turtles on the Shore and in the Water

Look! Some turtles are on the shore, and some are swimming in the water. Let’s count them. On the shore, we have one, two, three turtles. In the water, there are one, two turtles.

So, there are more turtles on the shore than in the water. Three is a bigger number than two!

Frogs Join the Fun

Oh, look! There’s a frog hopping around. But wait, now there are more frogs! Let’s count them. There are four frogs and only two turtles in the stream. Four is bigger than two, so there are more frogs than turtles here.

Comparing Turtles and Frogs

Let’s see who has more friends, the turtles or the frogs. We have five turtles and four frogs. Five is bigger than four, so there are more turtles than frogs!

Time to Go Home

It’s getting dark, and it’s time to go home. We had so much fun today! Tomorrow will be another day full of new adventures and stories.

Thanks for coming along with us! We hope you had fun. See you next time!

  • What kinds of things do you like to count when you go on a walk or play outside? Can you think of something fun you saw recently?
  • If you could go on an adventure with Michael and BaliBali, where would you like to go, and what would you hope to see?
  • Have you ever seen turtles or frogs in real life? What did you notice about them, and how did they make you feel?
  1. Cloud Counting Adventure: Next time you are outside, look up at the sky and try to count the clouds you see. Are there more clouds today or fewer than yesterday? Draw a picture of the sky with the clouds you counted and share it with your friends or family.

  2. Stone and Flower Hunt: Go on a little adventure in your garden or a park. Find some stones and flowers. Count how many stones you can find and how many flowers. Are there more stones or more flowers? Arrange them in groups and see if you can make fun shapes or patterns with them.

  3. Animal Friends Comparison: Create a simple chart with two columns, one for turtles and one for frogs. Draw or use stickers to represent each animal you see during your walk or in a book. Count how many turtles and frogs you have. Which group has more? Share your chart with your class or family and talk about your findings.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi everyone, I’m Michael and this is my friend BaliBali. I’d love to take a walk with you. During our walks, a lot of interesting things happen, and maybe today we’ll find something fun!

We need good weather for a walk, but there are lots of clouds today that often cover the sun. How many clouds are there? I don’t know; the sky is so huge it’s hard to count them.

And how many colorful dots do I have? It’s hard to count them too, especially since you jump very quickly! Well, let’s count these stones since they lie still: one, two, three, four, five.

Wow, they look like turtles! They seem hungry. Let’s pick a flower for each of them because turtles love to eat flowers.

Hey, how many flowers do we need for the turtles? Five, because there are five turtles.

Let’s count them: one, two, three, four, five.

Now, how many turtles are on the shore, and how many are swimming in the water? One, two, three on the shore, and one, two, three in the water.

So, there are three turtles on the grass and two turtles in the water. Which number is larger? There are more turtles in the grass, so I think three is larger than two.

And what about the smallest number? There’s one frog and two turtles. The turtles seem to be having more fun than the lonely frog.

But the frog wasn’t bored for long! Now there’s a whole crowd of frogs here. There are more frogs than turtles in the stream because there are four frogs and only two turtles. So, four is larger than two.

What if we compare all the turtles and all the frogs? Who will be more? There are more turtles—five of them—while there are just four frogs. So, five is larger than four.

Oh, it’s evening now. It’s time to go home. Tomorrow will bring a new day and new interesting stories.
