ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Phonics Letter Sounds – “The Scarecrow” Easy Reader
Hi there! Today, we are going to meet a special friend on the farm. Can you guess who it is? It’s a scarecrow! Scarecrows are very helpful on farms. Let’s learn more about our scarecrow friend.
Our scarecrow is wearing a skirt. Oh no, her skirt is a little torn! But that’s okay because she still looks great. She also has a scarf. Do you know what her scarf is made of? It’s made of yarn! Yarn is soft and colorful, just like the scarf.
Guess what? A little bird has come to visit the scarecrow. The bird is sitting right on her arm! Isn’t that sweet? The scarecrow is very friendly and loves making new friends.
The scarecrow is feeling very happy today. She says, “I did it! Yay!” Can you say “Yay!” with her? It’s fun to celebrate and feel happy with friends.
Did you know that scarecrows help keep the farm safe? They stand in the fields and make sure the crops grow big and strong. Next time you see a scarecrow, remember how important they are!
Let’s make our own scarecrow at home! You can use old clothes, some yarn for a scarf, and maybe even draw a little bird to sit on its arm. Have fun creating your scarecrow friend!
That’s all for today! We had so much fun learning about the scarecrow. Remember to always be friendly and happy, just like our scarecrow friend. See you next time!
Scarecrow Dress-Up: Gather some old clothes, hats, and scarves. Let the children dress up a doll or a stuffed toy as a scarecrow. Encourage them to use their imagination and describe what their scarecrow is wearing. Ask them questions like, “What color is the scarf?” or “What material is the hat made of?” This activity helps them connect with the concept of dressing up and using descriptive language.
Bird Watching Adventure: Take the children on a short walk outside or look out the window to observe birds. Ask them to notice the colors and sizes of the birds they see. Encourage them to think about why birds might visit a scarecrow. You can ask, “Why do you think the bird likes sitting on the scarecrow’s arm?” or “What do you think the bird is saying to the scarecrow?” This activity promotes observation skills and imaginative thinking.
Happy Scarecrow Dance: Play a cheerful song and invite the children to dance like a happy scarecrow. Encourage them to wave their arms like a scarecrow in the wind and say “Yay!” just like the scarecrow in the story. After the dance, ask them how dancing made them feel and why it’s fun to celebrate happiness. This activity encourages physical movement and emotional expression.
