Once upon a time, there was a little panda who loved to help! The little panda would say, “I’m a little helper, helping Daddy!” and “I’m a little helper, helping Mommy!” It was so much fun to help out and see everyone smile. Helping makes us feel happy and proud!
One day, Daddy Panda wanted to surprise the kids. He decided to clean the room while they were playing. But before he started, he reminded the kids, “Remember, don’t open the door to strangers!”
Suddenly, the kids heard a knock at the door. “Knock, knock, knock!” Who could it be? The kids remembered what Daddy said. They thought, “It’s a stranger! What should we do?”
The kids knew they had to be careful. They listened carefully to the voice outside. They looked carefully through the window. They thought carefully, “Do we know this person?”
When they saw a dino they didn’t recognize, they decided not to open the door. “We should not open the door to strangers,” they said. They were being very smart and safe!
Later, there was another knock. “Knock, knock, knock!” It was a delivery person. But the kids still remembered to be careful. They listened, looked, and thought, “Do we know him?”
Even when the delivery person said, “I have a package for you,” the kids knew to be safe and not open the door.
At the end of the day, Daddy Panda was so proud of the kids. “You did a great job today!” he said. The little panda helpers learned how important it is to be careful and safe, especially with strangers.
And they all lived happily ever after, always ready to help and stay safe!
Role-Playing Safety: Gather a few friends or family members and take turns role-playing different scenarios. One person can pretend to be a stranger knocking at the door, while another plays the role of the little panda. Practice what to say and do when someone you don’t know knocks. Remember to always check with a trusted adult before opening the door. This will help you understand how to stay safe in real life!
Helper Badge Craft: Create your own “Little Helper” badge! Use paper, crayons, and stickers to design a badge that shows you are a great helper like the little panda. Wear your badge when you help around the house, like cleaning up toys or setting the table. Talk about how helping makes you feel and why it’s important to help others.
Observation Walk: Go on a short walk with an adult and practice being observant. Look around and notice things you might not usually see, like different types of leaves or animals. Discuss how being observant can help you stay safe, just like the little pandas who listened and looked carefully before deciding what to do when someone knocked on the door.
