Let’s have some fun with a story about some silly spiders! These spiders love to jump on their web. Let’s see what happens when they jump too much!
There were five silly spiders jumping on their web. Uh-oh! One spider fell off and bumped his head. Mama Spider called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more spiders jumping on the web!”
Now there are four silly spiders jumping on the web. Oops! Another spider fell off and bumped his head. Mama Spider called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more spiders jumping on the web!”
Then there were three silly spiders jumping on the web. Oh no! One more spider fell off and bumped his head. Mama Spider called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more spiders jumping on the web!”
Now there are two silly spiders jumping on the web. Oh dear! Another spider fell off and bumped his head. Mama Spider called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more spiders jumping on the web!”
Finally, there was just one silly spider jumping on the web. Oh my! He fell off and bumped his head. Mama Spider called the doctor, and the doctor said, “Put those spiders right to bed!”
Wasn’t that a fun story? We learned to count down from five to one with our silly spider friends. Remember, it’s important to be careful when playing, just like the spiders learned. Now, let’s count together: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Great job!
Spider Counting Game: Gather some toy spiders or make your own using paper and crayons. Start with five spiders and practice counting down as you remove one spider at a time, just like in the story. Can you count backwards from five to one? Try counting forwards too! This will help you practice your counting skills.
Create Your Own Spider Story: Draw a picture of your own silly spider and think of a new adventure for it. What happens when your spider jumps on the web? Write a short story or tell it to a friend or family member. This will help you use your imagination and storytelling skills.
Spider Safety Dance: Just like the spiders learned to be careful, let’s create a safety dance! Think of some safe ways to play and make up a dance move for each one. For example, “Look both ways before crossing” could be a fun arm movement. Share your dance with your family and talk about why each safety tip is important.
