Once upon a time, there were five silly grannies who loved to jump on the bed. Let’s see what happened!
Five old grannies were jumping on the bed. Uh-oh! One granny fell off and bumped her head. Baby called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more grannies jumping on the bed!”
Now there were four grannies jumping on the bed. Oh no! Another granny fell off and bumped her head. Baby called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more grannies jumping on the bed!”
Then there were three grannies jumping on the bed. Oops! One more granny fell off and bumped her head. Baby called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more grannies jumping on the bed!”
Next, two grannies were jumping on the bed. Oh dear! One granny fell off and bumped her head. Baby called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more grannies jumping on the bed!”
Finally, there was just one granny jumping on the bed. Oh no! She fell off and bumped her head. Baby called the doctor, and the doctor said, “Put those grannies right to bed!”
Let’s learn about the letter A! A is for apple. Apples are yummy and good for you. Can you think of other words that start with A?
Can you count to five with little monkeys? Let’s try! One, two, three, four, five! Great job! Counting is fun, isn’t it?
Remember, always be careful when jumping and have fun learning new things every day!
Granny Jumping Game: Create a safe jumping area using pillows or a soft mat. Pretend to be the grannies and take turns jumping gently. Each time someone “falls off,” count how many grannies are left. This helps practice counting backward and understanding subtraction in a fun way.
Letter Hunt: Go on a letter hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter “A,” like apple, ant, or apron. Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. This activity encourages letter recognition and vocabulary building.
Doctor Role Play: Set up a pretend doctor’s office with toy medical tools. Take turns being the doctor and the grannies. Discuss how the doctor helps the grannies feel better and why it’s important to be careful when playing. This encourages empathy and understanding of safety.
