ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Country Mouse and City Mouse | Fairy Tales | Musical | PINKFONG Story Time for Children
Once upon a time, there were two little mice. One lived in the city, and the other lived in the country. Let’s see what they like!
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse both like pies and cake. Yum! They also like beans and rice. Isn’t that fun?
One day, the City Mouse went to visit the Country Mouse. “Hello, my name is City Mouse. Nice to meet you!” said the City Mouse.
“Hi, I’m Country Mouse. Nice to meet you too!” said the Country Mouse. “Welcome to the country!”
The City Mouse thought the country was very nice and safe. They went inside the Country Mouse’s house to have dinner.
The Country Mouse said, “Yummy! I like beans and rice.” But the City Mouse said, “Yucky! I don’t like beans and rice. I like cookies and cake.”
At night, there were many sounds. The Country Mouse said, “Listen to the rooster!”
The City Mouse heard a dog and a big owl and thought the country was a bit scary. “Let’s go to my house in the city!” said the City Mouse.
Now, it was the Country Mouse’s turn to visit the city. “This is my house. Welcome!” said the City Mouse.
“Thank you!” said the Country Mouse. But suddenly, a scary cat appeared!
The cat said, “I like mice!” and the two mice ran away quickly.
They had dinner in the city. The City Mouse said, “Yum! I like cookies and cake.” But the Country Mouse said, “Oh, I don’t like cookies and cake.”
Then, some people came into the kitchen and said, “Catch the mice!” The mice ran away again!
In the morning, the Country Mouse decided to go back home. “Thank you!” said the Country Mouse.
“You’re welcome. Goodbye!” said the City Mouse.
Back at home, the Country Mouse was very happy. “This is my favorite place in the world,” he said. He decided not to go to the city again. “There’s no place like home.”
And that’s the story of the City Mouse and the Country Mouse. They learned that everyone likes different things, and that’s okay!
Food Tasting Adventure: Organize a small tasting session where children can try different foods mentioned in the story, like beans, rice, cookies, and cake. Ask them to describe the tastes and textures. Encourage them to think about why the City Mouse and Country Mouse might have different food preferences. Discuss how trying new foods can be fun and how everyone has unique tastes.
Sound Exploration: Create a sound guessing game. Play recordings of different sounds like a rooster crowing, a dog barking, an owl hooting, and city noises like car horns. Ask the children to guess what each sound is and where they might hear it (in the city or the country). Discuss how different environments have different sounds and how these sounds can make us feel.
Draw Your Favorite Place: Provide paper and crayons for the children to draw their favorite place, just like the Country Mouse loved his home. Encourage them to include details about what makes it special to them. Afterward, let them share their drawings with the class and explain why they chose that place. This activity helps them appreciate diversity in preferences and the concept of “home.”
