Every day, we make lots of choices, both big and small. Today, let’s join Cookie Monster on his fun adventure of making decisions. He has exciting plans like sleepovers, snow days, and birthday parties. Let’s see what choices he makes and what we can learn from them!
Cookie Monster is super excited about his sleepover at Baby Bear’s house. He knows he needs to pack the right things to have a great time.
First, Cookie Monster picks out what to wear to bed. He chooses pajamas because they are comfy and warm, helping him sleep well. This shows us that being comfortable is important for a good night’s rest.
Next, he wants to bring a toy to share with Baby Bear. He picks a ball, which is great for playing together. This teaches us that sharing toys can be fun and helps us make friends.
Cookie Monster also wants to give a thank you gift to Baby Bear’s family. He chooses a thank you card, showing us that saying “thank you” is important and makes people happy.
Now, Cookie Monster is ready for a snowy adventure!
To stay warm, he puts on a snow suit. This helps him enjoy playing outside without getting cold. It reminds us to dress warmly when it’s chilly outside.
Cookie Monster helps Elmo decorate his snowman by picking a top hat. This shows us that working together with friends can be fun and creative.
He decides to get a snow tube to play with in the snow. This choice shows us that playing outside is fun and helps us stay active.
Next, Cookie Monster gets ready for Elmo’s birthday party.
He chooses to bring a healthy snack in a bowl. This teaches us that sharing healthy food with friends is important, even during parties.
To make a special gift for Elmo, Cookie Monster uses crayons to draw a picture. This shows us that making gifts can be creative and thoughtful.
Finally, Cookie Monster picks a noisemaker for party favors. This adds fun to the party and reminds us that celebrations are about having a good time.
Through his adventures, Cookie Monster shows us how to make good choices. Whether it’s picking the right clothes, sharing with friends, or saying thank you, each choice makes our experiences better. So, next time you have to make a decision, think of Cookie Monster’s fun journey and remember to make thoughtful choices!
Choice Adventure Journal: Create a “Choice Adventure Journal” where you can draw or write about a choice you made each day. Think about why you made that choice and how it made you feel. Did it make you happy, like when Cookie Monster chose pajamas for a good night’s sleep? Share your journal with a family member or friend and ask them about their choices too!
Role-Playing Game: With a friend or family member, play a role-playing game where you pretend to be Cookie Monster. Take turns making choices for different scenarios, like what to pack for a sleepover or what to wear on a snowy day. Discuss why you made each choice and what you learned from it. This will help you understand the importance of thoughtful decision-making.
Choice Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or neighborhood to find examples of choices people make every day. Look for things like a healthy snack in the kitchen, a cozy blanket for bedtime, or a thank you card. Take pictures or draw what you find and talk about why these choices are important, just like Cookie Monster’s adventures.
