Today, we are going to have fun reading a book called “No, David!” by David Shannon. Are you ready? Let’s go!
David is a little boy who is always getting into some kind of trouble. His mom often says, “No, David!” Can you imagine why?
David loves to run around the house. But sometimes, he runs too fast! His mom says, “Come back here, David!”
David likes to be silly and do funny things. But sometimes, he needs to be careful. His mom says, “David, be careful!”
Even though David gets into trouble, he learns important lessons. We can learn from David too! Let’s think about how we can listen to our parents and be safe while having fun.
When our parents or teachers ask us to do something, it’s important to listen. This helps us stay safe and happy, just like David learns in the story.
We can have lots of fun, just like David, but we should always remember to be careful. This way, we can enjoy our adventures without any trouble!
Reading books like “No, David!” is a great way to learn and have fun. Let’s keep reading and discovering new stories together!
Role-Play Adventure: Let’s pretend to be David! Choose a safe space in the classroom or at home where you can act out some of David’s adventures. Can you think of a time when you had to listen to your parents or teachers? Act it out with a friend or family member. Remember to practice listening and being careful while having fun!
Safety Detective: Become a safety detective! Look around your classroom or home and find three things that help keep you safe. It could be a seatbelt, a helmet, or even a handrail. Draw a picture of each item and share why it’s important to listen and use these safety tools, just like David learns in the story.
Story Time Discussion: After reading “No, David!”, sit in a circle with your classmates or family and talk about a time when you had fun but needed to be careful. What did you learn from that experience? How can you make sure to have fun safely in the future? Share your thoughts and listen to others’ stories.
