ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Little Winkle Needs to Tinkle | A rhyming tale of a pursuit of a bathroom!
Hello, friends! How are you today? Have you been having fun and learning new things? I hope you’re reading lots of books! Are you ready to read a fun story with us today?
Today, we have a story called “Little Winkle Needs to Tinkle” by Tommy and Cindy Coleman. Let’s find out what happens!
Little Winkle is riding in the car with Mommy and Daddy. They haven’t gone very far when Little Winkle feels he needs to tinkle (that means he needs to use the bathroom!).
Before they left, Mommy asked if he needed to go, but Little Winkle said no because he wanted to play. Now, he really needs to tinkle!
Little Winkle can’t go in the car, and he can’t use his shoe! Daddy asks why he didn’t go before they left. Little Winkle says, “I just wanted to play!”
His tummy feels like a big balloon, and he starts to wiggle and dance. He doesn’t want to wet his pants!
Mama tells Little Winkle they will be at a bathroom soon. She saw a sign that says there’s a rest stop just one mile away. She hopes there won’t be a line because Little Winkle really needs to tinkle!
Daddy stops the car and opens the door. Little Winkle is so happy! There’s no line at the toilet, and he makes it just in time. It feels so good to finally tinkle!
Daddy reminds Little Winkle to always go before they leave. Little Winkle agrees and says, “Yes, Daddy, you are right. I also think I need a drink!”
Do you think it’s a good idea to have a drink right after? Remember, it’s always smart to tinkle before you leave!

Bathroom Break Role Play: Let’s pretend we’re going on a car trip like Little Winkle! Before we start, let’s practice asking if anyone needs to use the bathroom. You can take turns being the driver and the passengers. Remember to ask, “Does anyone need to tinkle before we leave?” This will help us remember to go before we start our journey!
Balloon Belly Experiment: Let’s see what it feels like when Little Winkle’s tummy felt like a big balloon! Take a small balloon and blow it up a little bit. Feel how it stretches. Now imagine your tummy feeling like that when you need to tinkle! Talk about how it feels and why it’s important to go to the bathroom before you feel like a balloon.
Observation Challenge: Next time you’re out with your family, look for signs that show where the bathrooms are, just like Mama did in the story. Can you spot them? Share what you find with your family and talk about why it’s helpful to know where the bathrooms are when you’re traveling.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. How are you today? What have you been up to? Have you been learning lots of new things at school? I hope you’ve been reading lots of books by yourself. Are you ready to read another book with us today?
We have a book called “Little Winkle Needs to Tinkle” by Tommy and Cindy Coleman. Let’s get started, shall we?
“Little Winkle Needs to Tinkle”
Little Winkle is in the car. He has not traveled far. Little Winkle needs to tinkle. He tells Mommy and Daddy he really needs to go. Before they left, Mommy asked Little Winkle if he needed to tinkle. He said no, because the gas station is far. Little Winkle cannot go in the car. What will he do?
Little Winkle can’t pee in his shoe. Little Winkle needs to tinkle. Daddy asked Little Winkle why he said he did not have to go before they went away. Little Winkle said, “I just wanted to play,” but now Little Winkle needs to tinkle. Can Little Winkle hold it? There is a rest stop soon, but his bladder feels like a balloon.
Little Winkle really needs to tinkle. Oh, I need to pee! Little Winkle is starting to squirm and dance. He sure does not want to wet his pants. He says, “Oh, I need to pee!” Little Winkle needs to tinkle. Mama tells Little Winkle they will be there soon. The next exit has a bathroom, and the convenience store is one mile away. She saw a sign and hopes there is not a line. She knows Little Winkle needs to tinkle.
Daddy stops and opens the door. Little Winkle says, “Thanks! I can hardly hold it anymore!” Little Winkle needs to tinkle. The toilet has no line! Little Winkle thinks he’s made it just in time. Little Winkle thinks it feels so good to finally tinkle. Daddy says, “Little Winkle, you must know to always go before we leave.” Little Winkle says, “Yes, Daddy, you are right. That’s what I think. I also think I need a drink.”
Hmm, do you think that’s a good idea? Well, I hope you remember to always tinkle before you leave. If you enjoyed this story, you can get your copy by clicking on the link in our description below.
