Hey there! Today, we’re going to talk about a story with an important lesson. Do you know what a lesson is? It’s something the story or the author wants to teach us. Let’s dive into the story and see what we can learn!
Once upon a time, Drew was out skateboarding with his friends. He was having a great time until something unexpected happened. Oh no! Drew fell off his skateboard. He felt really embarrassed because he started to cry.
But guess what? Drew’s friends were super nice. They told him that it’s okay to cry and that they cry sometimes too. Hearing this made Drew feel much better. He realized he wasn’t alone and that crying is normal. After that, he was excited to keep skateboarding with his friends.
So, what can we learn from Drew’s story? The problem Drew faced was feeling embarrassed about crying. But then he learned something important: it’s okay to cry! Crying can actually make you feel better, and it’s something everyone does. That’s the big lesson from the story!
Remember, it’s perfectly fine to show your emotions, just like Drew did. It helps us feel better and reminds us that we’re all human.
Emotion Charades: Gather your friends or family and play a game of charades using different emotions. Take turns acting out feelings like happiness, sadness, surprise, or anger without using words, and have others guess the emotion. This activity helps you understand and express emotions, just like Drew learned it’s okay to cry.
Feelings Journal: Start a small journal where you can draw or write about how you feel each day. Use colors to show different emotions, like blue for sadness or yellow for happiness. This will help you recognize and accept your feelings, just like Drew did when he realized crying is normal.
Emotion Detective: Next time you’re watching a movie or reading a book, try to be an “emotion detective.” Look for moments when characters show their feelings. Discuss with a parent or friend why the character might feel that way and how they express it. This will help you see that everyone has emotions, just like Drew and his friends.
