Welcome to the fun and silly world of Sesame Street! Here, we meet Oscar the Grouch, who loves trash, and his new friend, Mucko. Mucko thinks grouchiness is everywhere, not just in Oscar’s trash can. Let’s join them on their exciting adventure to find all things grouchy!
Oscar believes his trash can is the only grouchy thing around. But Mucko disagrees and says grouchiness is all over Sesame Street. Elmo gets curious and decides to join Oscar and Mucko on their grouchy adventure!
Mucko sings a fun song that makes everyone want to find their inner grouch. The song talks about all the “yucky” and “mucky” things that make the grouchy world special. Let’s see what they find!
The song reminds everyone that they need to look for these grouchy things because they won’t just appear. This teaches us that exploring is fun and takes a little effort and curiosity.
Oscar, Mucko, and Elmo’s adventure shows us that even messy and yucky things can be fun. With a happy song and a love for exploring, they invite everyone to join them in finding the grouchy world around us. So, let’s get ready to explore and have fun!
Grouchy Treasure Hunt: Go on a grouchy treasure hunt around your home or classroom! Look for items that might be considered “grouchy” like crumpled paper, sticky tape, or even a bit of dirt. Once you’ve found your treasures, share them with your friends and explain why you think they belong in the grouchy world. This will help you see how everyday items can be part of a fun, grouchy adventure!
Create Your Own Grouchy Song: Just like Mucko’s song, make up your own song about grouchy things you find. Use words like “yucky,” “mucky,” and “sticky” to describe them. Sing your song to your family or friends and see if they can guess what grouchy items you’re singing about. This activity will help you use your imagination and creativity to explore the concept of grouchiness.
Grouchy Art Project: Use materials like glue, glitter, and paint to create a grouchy masterpiece. Try to make something that looks messy or yucky, like a picture of a muddy puddle or a sticky slime monster. Display your art and explain why it’s part of the grouchy world. This hands-on activity will let you express your understanding of grouchiness through art.
