Let’s have fun with some fruits! Imagine five little fruits jumping on a bed. What do you think happens next? Let’s find out!
There were five little fruits jumping on the bed. An apple fell off and bumped its head. Oh no! A banana picked up the phone and called the doctor. The doctor said, “No more fruits jumping on the bed!”
Now there are four little fruits jumping on the bed. A banana fell off and bumped its head. Ouch! An orange called the doctor. The doctor said, “No more fruits jumping on the bed!”
Three little fruits were still jumping on the bed. An orange fell off and bumped its head. Oh dear! A strawberry called the doctor. The doctor said, “No more fruits jumping on the bed!”
Two little fruits kept jumping on the bed. A strawberry fell off and bumped its head. Yikes! Grapes called the doctor. The doctor said, “No more fruits jumping on the bed!”
Just one little fruit was left jumping on the bed. A grape fell off and bumped its head. Oh no! An apple called the doctor. The doctor said, “Put those fruits right to bed!”
Wasn’t that a fun story? We learned about different fruits like apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries, and grapes. Remember, it’s important to be safe and not jump on the bed. Fruits are yummy and healthy, and they can be part of fun stories too!
Fruit Counting Game: Gather five different types of fruits, just like in the story: an apple, a banana, an orange, a strawberry, and grapes. Arrange them in a line and practice counting them together. Ask questions like, “If one fruit falls off, how many are left?” Encourage the children to physically remove one fruit and count the remaining ones to reinforce subtraction in a fun way.
Fruit Role Play: Let the children choose a fruit they want to be from the story. Have them act out the story, taking turns being the fruit that falls off the bed and the one that calls the doctor. This activity helps with understanding sequencing and encourages imaginative play.
Fruit Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or garden to observe different fruits or plants. Ask them to identify any fruits they see and discuss their colors, shapes, and sizes. Encourage them to think about how these fruits might be used in stories or meals.
