Guess what? Elmo, Abby, and Cookie Monster from “Sesame Street” got a big surprise! They had special visitors all the way from Australia. Can you guess who? It was The Wiggles, a fun music group for kids!
Elmo and his friends were so excited! Elmo thought the surprise might be a cookie, a game, or even a puppy. But the real surprise was even better! The Wiggles brought yummy biscuits, which are called cookies in some places. Isn’t it fun to learn new words from different parts of the world?
The fun didn’t stop with the biscuits. The Wiggles sang a super fun song called “Do the Propeller.” This song is special because it gets everyone moving and dancing like a propeller on a plane or helicopter!
Elmo, Abby, and Cookie Monster showed how to dance like propellers. They moved their arms round and round, just like a helicopter. Dancing like this helps us grow strong and learn how to move our bodies. It’s so much fun to dance with friends!
Did you know that moving and dancing can help us learn better? When we dance, we feel happy and ready to learn new things. Songs like “Do the Propeller” teach us about rhythm and how to move our bodies. It’s a great way to learn while having fun!
At the end of the day, Elmo, Abby, and Cookie Monster invited everyone to join the fun. They showed us that learning can be exciting and full of joy. With music, dance, and a little bit of cultural exchange, we can learn so much about the world. And don’t forget, it’s always nice to share a tasty biscuit with friends!
Propeller Dance Challenge: Gather your friends or family and have a “Do the Propeller” dance-off! Play the song and see who can come up with the most creative propeller dance moves. Try moving your arms in big circles, spinning around, or even using your legs to make propeller shapes. After dancing, talk about how moving your body makes you feel. Does it make you happy or excited?
World of Words: Explore the idea of different words for the same thing. Just like how “biscuits” are called “cookies” in some places, think of other words that might be different in other parts of the world. For example, what do you call a fizzy drink? Is it soda, pop, or something else? Ask your family or friends if they know any other fun word differences. Draw a picture of your favorite word and share it with the class.
Make Your Own Surprise: Just like Elmo and his friends received a surprise, think of a surprise you can create for someone special. It could be a drawing, a song, or even a dance. Plan your surprise and think about how it might make the other person feel. Share your surprise with them and see if it brings a smile to their face!
