ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 How Characters Change in a Story | Reading Comprehension | Khan Academy Kids
Today, we’re going to learn about a fun story involving two friends, Zoe and Lily, who love playing pranks. Let’s dive into their adventure and see what happens!
Zoe and Lily decided to throw water balloons at their friend Charlie. They thought it would be a funny prank. However, things didn’t go as planned. The water balloons hit Charlie’s poster, and it got all wet. Uh-oh!
At first, Zoe found the prank hilarious because she was laughing. Lily didn’t think it was a big deal and told everyone to relax. But then, something changed.
When Zoe and Lily saw that Charlie was upset, they stopped smiling. They realized their prank wasn’t so funny after all. They felt sorry for making Charlie sad.
Throughout the story, Zoe and Lily learned an important lesson. At first, they thought pranks were always fun. But when they saw how their prank affected Charlie, they changed their minds. In the end, they even helped Charlie make a new poster. Way to go, Zoe and Lily!
This story teaches us that it’s important to think about how our actions affect others. Sometimes, what seems funny to us might not be funny to someone else. It’s always good to be kind and considerate!
Role-Playing Activity: Gather your friends or family members and act out the story of Zoe, Lily, and Charlie. Take turns playing different roles and think about how each character feels during the prank. After the role-play, discuss how you can make sure everyone feels happy and included when playing together.
Feelings Chart: Create a feelings chart with different emotions like happy, sad, surprised, and sorry. Think about a time when you played a prank or a joke. How did it make you feel? How did it make others feel? Draw a picture of that moment and place it on the chart. Talk with a friend or family member about how you can make sure your jokes are fun for everyone.
Kindness Jar: Find a jar and some small pieces of paper. Each day, write down one kind thing you did for someone else and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read all the notes and see how your actions made others feel happy. Think about how being kind can be even more fun than playing pranks!
