Hi there, friends! Today, we’re going to read a fun story called “I Just Ate My Friend” by Heidi McKinnon. Are you ready to find out what happens? Let’s go!
Once upon a time, there was a little creature who said, “I just ate my friend.” Oh no! The creature felt sad because his friend was gone. He wanted to find a new friend.
The little creature went on a search. He asked, “Hello, would you be my friend?” But the other animals said:
The little creature felt sad. He wondered, “What if I never find another friend? What if I ate my only friend?”
Just then, another creature came along and said, “Hello! I will be your friend!” The little creature was so happy and shouted, “Yay! Friends!”
It’s important to be kind to our friends and not eat them! Friends make us happy, and we should always take care of them.
Thank you for joining us for Story Time! If you liked this story, there are many more to enjoy. See you next time for another fun adventure!
Friendship Circle: Gather in a circle with your classmates. Take turns sharing what makes a good friend. Is it being kind, sharing toys, or helping each other? After everyone shares, draw a picture of you and your friend doing something fun together. Display your drawings in the classroom to celebrate friendship!
Animal Friend Match: Think about the animals the little creature met in the story. Can you find a toy or picture of an animal that you think would make a good friend for the little creature? Why do you think they would be good friends? Share your thoughts with the class and see what others have chosen.
Friendship Hunt: Go on a friendship hunt around your school or home. Look for examples of people being good friends. Maybe someone is helping another person, sharing, or playing nicely. Draw or write about what you see and share it with your class. Discuss how these actions make people feel happy and loved.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
