Once upon a time, there was a big, round egg named Humpty Dumpty. He loved to sit on a tall wall and watch the world around him. Humpty Dumpty was very happy up there!
One day, while Humpty Dumpty was sitting on the wall, he wobbled and wiggled. Oh no! He fell off the wall and landed on the ground with a big thud. Poor Humpty Dumpty!
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men came running to help Humpty Dumpty. They tried to push him up, pull him up, and patch him up. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Even though Humpty Dumpty couldn’t be fixed, we can learn something important from his story. It’s always good to be careful when we’re playing or climbing. And if we ever fall, we can always ask for help from our friends and family.
Let’s draw a picture of Humpty Dumpty sitting on his wall. What do you think he sees from up there? Use lots of colors and have fun!
Humpty Dumpty Balance Game: Gather some small objects like blocks, toy figures, or even plastic eggs. Build a small wall using the blocks and try to balance the objects on top without them falling. Discuss with the children why some objects might be easier to balance than others. This activity helps children understand balance and stability.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the playground or classroom. Ask them to observe and point out places where they need to be careful, just like Humpty Dumpty. Encourage them to think about how they can stay safe while playing or climbing. This activity promotes awareness of their surroundings and safety.
Story Time Reflection: After reading the story, ask the children, “What would you do if you were Humpty Dumpty and needed help?” Encourage them to share their ideas and discuss how asking for help is important. This activity fosters empathy and problem-solving skills.
