Sesame Street is a fun TV show with colorful characters that help kids learn important things. In one exciting episode, they teach us about good manners and numbers. Let’s see what we can learn!
In this episode, a friendly host named Tom Bergeron talks about manners. Manners are the nice ways we act around other people. Sometimes, people forget to use good manners, and that’s called bad manners. It’s important to know how to be polite and kind to everyone.
Bad manners can be things like interrupting when someone is talking, not saying “please” or “thank you,” or not sharing with friends. Sesame Street helps us understand why being polite is important. When we use good manners, we show respect and kindness to others.
Besides learning about manners, we also get to learn about numbers with the Count! In this episode, the special number is 0. Let’s find out why zero is so interesting!
Zero is a special number because it means “nothing.” It helps us understand numbers better. For example, if you have 2 apples and eat both, you have 0 apples left. Zero helps us count and understand when something is missing or gone.
This episode of Sesame Street is full of fun lessons about being polite and learning numbers. By watching, we learn how to be kind to others and understand the number zero. Sesame Street makes learning exciting and helps us become better friends and learners!
Polite Puppet Show: Create a simple puppet show with your friends or family. Use socks or paper bags to make your puppets. Act out a scene where the puppets use good manners, like saying “please” and “thank you,” and another scene where they forget their manners. Discuss how the puppets feel in each scene and why using good manners is important.
Zero Hunt: Go on a “Zero Hunt” around your home or classroom. Look for things that show the number zero, like an empty cookie jar or a clock showing 10:00 (which has a zero). Draw or take pictures of what you find. Talk about why zero is important in each example and how it helps us understand when something is empty or missing.
Manners Matching Game: Create a matching game with cards. On one set of cards, write examples of good manners, like “saying thank you” or “waiting your turn.” On another set, write examples of bad manners, like “interrupting” or “not sharing.” Mix them up and try to match each good manner with its opposite. Discuss why each good manner is important and how it makes people feel.
