Hello, little friends! Today, we have a super fun story to share with you. Are you ready to join us on an exciting adventure? Let’s go!
Once upon a time, there was a friendly squirrel named Miss Squirrel. She had a friend named Theo. One sunny day, Miss Squirrel and Theo were very excited because they were going to a special party!
Their neighbors, the elephants, were having a birthday party for their son. They were going to celebrate with colorful fireworks! Miss Squirrel and Theo couldn’t wait to join the fun.
On their way to the party, they found a big tree blocking the path. Oh no! How would they get to the party now?
Miss Squirrel tried to move the tree, but it was too big and heavy. She knew they needed help. So, Theo and Miss Squirrel called out, “Help! Help!”
Soon, a friendly helper came along. “Did you call for help?” the helper asked. “Yes, can you help us move the tree?” Miss Squirrel replied.
With a big smile, the helper moved the tree out of the way. “The job is done. You can continue your journey,” said the helper. Miss Squirrel and Theo were so happy!
Finally, they arrived at the party. Everyone shouted, “Happy birthday!” The elephants were so glad to see them, and they all had a wonderful time watching the fireworks together.
Wasn’t that a fun adventure? Remember, it’s always okay to ask for help when you need it. Friends are there to help each other! Now, let’s think about how we can be helpful to our friends, just like Miss Squirrel and Theo’s helper.
Role-Playing Adventure: Gather your friends or family members and act out the story of Miss Squirrel and Theo. Take turns playing different characters like Miss Squirrel, Theo, and the friendly helper. Think about how you would feel if you were stuck and needed help. How would you ask for help? What would you say to thank the helper?
Helping Hands Art Project: Create a “Helping Hands” poster. Trace your hand on a piece of paper and cut it out. On each finger, write or draw a way you can help a friend or family member. Decorate your hand with bright colors and hang it up to remind you of all the ways you can be helpful, just like the helper in the story.
Observation Walk: Go on a walk with an adult and look for ways people help each other in your community. Maybe you see someone holding a door open or helping carry groceries. Talk about what you see and how it makes you feel. Can you think of a time when you helped someone or when someone helped you?

Hello, Miss Squirrel!
Hi, Theo! Today is a very special day. We’re visiting our neighbors, the elephants. Their son has a birthday, and they’re going to celebrate it with fireworks! This is going to be the most wonderful birthday party ever!
Oh no, what should we do now?
Well, that’s okay! I know what to do. I’ll move the tree.
I can’t do that alone; the tree is too big. It seems like I really need some help.
I think we ought to call for help.
Help! Help!
What happened? Did you call for help?
Hello! Can you help us move the tree?
With great pleasure! The job is done. You can continue your journey.
