Once upon a time, there was a friendly helper named Mimi. Mimi was always ready to help anyone in trouble. One day, Mimi heard someone calling for help. “Somebody help us!” they shouted.
Mimi knew it was time to go! “Let’s go!” Mimi said, and off they went to help. When Mimi arrived, everyone was clapping and cheering. “Hurry!” they said, and Mimi was ready to help.
Mimi told everyone, “Don’t be nervous, please stay calm. I will help you out here.” Mimi was very brave and made everyone feel safe.
There was a big crane that came to help too. “Crane, hurry!” everyone said. The crane was strong and helped lift heavy things. “Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you,” said the crane. Everyone was so thankful and said, “Thank you, Crane!”
Oh no! Someone’s car wouldn’t start. But Mimi knew just what to do. “Don’t worry, I’ll call the tow truck,” Mimi said.
The tow truck came quickly to help. “Tow truck, hurry!” everyone cheered. The tow truck took the car to a special place called a repair shop. “Welcome to my repair shop,” said the friendly mechanic.
And with that, the car was fixed, and everyone was happy again. Mimi and the helpers showed that when we work together, we can solve any problem!
Remember, if you ever need help, stay calm and call for someone who can help you. Working together makes everything better!
Role-Playing Helpers: Gather some toys or stuffed animals and create a small scene where one toy needs help. Encourage the children to take turns being Mimi, the crane, and the tow truck. Ask them to think about how each character can help and what they might say to make others feel safe and calm. This activity helps children practice empathy and teamwork.
Helping Hands Art Project: Provide paper, crayons, and markers. Ask the children to draw a picture of a time when they helped someone or when someone helped them. Encourage them to share their stories with the class. This activity allows children to reflect on their own experiences and understand the importance of helping others.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to look for situations where someone might need help, like a friend who dropped their book or a plant that needs watering. Discuss how they could help in these situations. This activity encourages children to be observant and proactive in offering help.
