ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Miss Polly Had A Dolly – Oh no, Baby Margaret is SICK! Let’s help her!
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun pretending to be doctors. My doll isn’t feeling well. She’s a bit sick, and she’s been crying and sleeping a lot. What should we do to help her feel better?
First, let’s call the doctor. “Hello, doctor! My doll isn’t feeling well. Can you come over and help? Thank you! Bye-bye!”
Now, can you pretend to be the doctor? Great! Let’s check on my doll together.
Let’s start by looking in her ears. How do they look? Oh no, not too good! Now, let’s check her mouth and eyes. Hmm, they don’t look too good either.
Can you take her blood pressure and listen to her heart with a stethoscope? It sounds good! Now, let’s check her temperature with a thermometer. Oh, she’s a little hot; she has a small fever.
Let’s listen to her breathing. Uh-oh, she has a little cough. What should we do to help her feel better?
Let’s sing a happy song together to cheer her up! Singing can make us feel better and bring smiles to our faces.
Thank you for being such a great doctor today! Remember, playing pretend is a fun way to learn and help our friends feel better.
Doctor’s Kit Exploration: Create a simple doctor’s kit using household items like a spoon for a thermometer, a string for a stethoscope, and a small notebook for a prescription pad. Encourage the children to use these items to check on their toys or dolls. Ask them questions like, “What do you think this tool does?” or “How can we use this to help our toy feel better?” This activity helps children understand the basic tools doctors use and encourages imaginative play.
Healthy Habits Chart: Help the children create a chart with drawings or stickers that show healthy habits, such as washing hands, eating fruits and vegetables, and getting enough sleep. Discuss why these habits are important for keeping us healthy. Ask questions like, “What do you do to stay healthy?” or “Can you think of a new healthy habit to try this week?” This activity promotes awareness of personal health and hygiene.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the classroom or playground and encourage them to observe things that help keep us healthy, like clean water fountains, hand sanitizers, or healthy snacks. Ask them to share what they see and why they think it’s important for health. Questions like, “What did you find that helps us stay healthy?” or “How can we make sure our environment stays clean?” can guide their exploration and understanding.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi, wonderful YouTube! Today, I’m pretending that my doll isn’t feeling well. She’s sick and crying a lot, and she’s sleeping a lot. So what should I do?
Call the doctor? Good idea!
Hi, doctor! Yeah, my doll isn’t feeling well. You can come over? Great, thank you! Bye-bye!
Hey, can you pretend to be the doctor? Thanks!
Yeah, here she is. Maybe you can look in her ears. How do they look? Not too good? And in her mouth and her eyes? Oh, they don’t look too good.
Can you take her blood pressure? And listen to her heart with a stethoscope? It sounds good!
Now let’s take her temperature. Do you have a thermometer? Great! Oh, she’s a little hot; she has a little fever.
Let’s listen to her breathing. Well, she has a little cough. What should I do?
Let’s sing together!
