Once upon a time, there were five silly little monsters who loved to jump on the bed. They were having so much fun, bouncing up and down, up and down!
But oh no! One monster jumped too high and fell off the bed. The monster bumped its head and said, “Ouch!”
Mama monster was worried, so she called a friendly zombie. The zombie said, “No more monsters jumping on the bed!”
Now there were four little monsters still jumping on the bed. They were giggling and having a great time.
But then, another monster fell off and bumped her head. “Ouch!” she cried.
Mama monster called a wise witch for help. The witch said, “No more monsters jumping on the bed!”
Even though jumping on the bed is fun, it’s important to be safe. We can jump and play on the ground or use a trampoline with grown-ups watching us.
Remember, listening to Mama monster, the zombie, and the witch helps keep everyone safe and happy!
Let’s find other fun and safe ways to play and use our imagination!
Monster Safety Dance: Create a fun dance routine with your friends or family that shows how to play safely. Use your imagination to pretend you’re the monsters from the story. Think about how you can jump and play without getting hurt. Can you make up a song to go with your dance? Share your dance with the class or your family and talk about why safety is important.
Counting Monsters Game: Use five small toys or figures to represent the monsters. Place them on a pretend bed (like a pillow or a small blanket). As you act out the story, remove a monster each time one falls off the bed. Count how many monsters are left each time. Can you tell the story in your own words while playing the game? This will help you practice counting and storytelling!
Safe Jumping Exploration: With a grown-up, explore different places where it’s safe to jump and play. Visit a playground or use a trampoline if you have one. Talk about why these places are safer than jumping on a bed. What makes them special? How do they keep you from getting hurt? Draw a picture of your favorite safe place to play and share it with your friends.
