Lesson Activities

  1. Jelly Bean Counting Game: Gather a small bag of jelly beans or any colorful candies. Ask the children to count them out loud, just like in the story. Once they reach 10, encourage them to group the jelly beans by color and count each group. Ask questions like, “Which color has the most jelly beans?” or “How many more red jelly beans are there than green ones?” This will help them practice counting and comparing numbers.

  2. Jelly Bean Adventure Story: Have the children create their own adventure story using jelly beans as characters. Provide them with paper and crayons to draw scenes from their story. Encourage them to think about what fun activities their jelly beans might do, similar to the video. Ask them questions like, “What happens when the jelly beans go to the park?” or “How do the jelly beans feel when they dance?” This activity encourages creativity and storytelling skills.

  3. Jelly Bean Movement Game: Recreate the jelly beans’ movements from the video. Ask the children to act out the actions like “spin, spin, spin” or “hop, hop, hop.” You can play music and let them dance like the jelly beans. Afterward, discuss how moving like the jelly beans made them feel. This activity helps with physical coordination and understanding action words.
