Oh, hello there! It’s another wonderful day, and guess what? We are going to have some fun with ice cream!
Our friend wanted to buy three yummy strawberry ice creams. But oh no! The ice cream truck’s engine was broken. That means no ice cream today. But don’t worry, we can help!
We decided to take the truck to the repair shop. The engine was too old and couldn’t be fixed. So, we thought, “Let’s get a new engine!” With the help of our friends Kiki and Meumu, we got a super new engine!
With the new engine, the truck was ready to go. But wait, there’s more! We decided to add a popcorn machine to the truck. Popcorn, popcorn, pop, pop, pop!
And that’s not all! We also added a cotton candy machine. Cotton candy, sweet and fluffy!
Now, the ice cream truck was super special. It could make popcorn ice cream and cotton candy ice cream. Yum! Our friend made these special treats just for us.
And guess what? Everyone got their own special ice cream. Yay!
Today, we learned that helping each other can solve problems. We also learned that adding new things can make something even more fun!
Thanks for joining us on this sweet adventure. Remember, sharing and helping make everything better!
Ice Cream Truck Role Play: Gather some toy vehicles and pretend they are ice cream trucks. Use blocks or other small toys to represent the engine and other parts of the truck. Encourage the children to “fix” the trucks by replacing the old engine with a new one. Discuss how teamwork and helping each other can solve problems, just like in the story.
Create Your Own Ice Cream Flavor: Provide children with play dough or modeling clay in different colors. Ask them to create their own unique ice cream flavors by mixing different colors together. Once they have created their special ice cream, have them share their creations with the group and explain what makes their flavor special. This activity encourages creativity and sharing.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to look for things that can be improved or fixed, just like the ice cream truck in the story. Discuss how they might help make these improvements and why teamwork is important. This activity helps children apply the concept of helping and improving in their everyday environment.
