One day, True and her friend Bartleby were on an exciting adventure. They were trying to walk across a rainbow! It was like walking on a tightrope, and they had to be very careful. True said, “Let’s walk slow and steady.” Bartleby was a little nervous, but True was there to help him. “I got you, Bartleby!” she said, and they both felt better.
True’s friend, Kittynatti, showed them how to walk on the rainbow. “Watch me and do what I do,” she said. Kittynatti made it look easy, and True and Bartleby tried to follow her. They learned that sometimes it’s easier to do things when you have a friend to show you how.
As they walked, Bartleby said, “We’re so high up!” True had a great idea. “Let’s hold each other up,” she suggested. By working together, they felt safer and stronger. “Go Teamwork!” they cheered when they made it across.
Suddenly, they saw a big storm cloud blocking their way. “Uh-oh,” said Bartleby. But True had a plan. She called for her magical Wish friend, Boo-ster. “Zip, zap, zoo, I choose you!” she said. Boo-ster came to help with a big, strong wind to move the cloud away.
With the cloud gone, True and Bartleby could keep going. They were almost at the top of the rainbow! But the rainbow was slippery, and they started to slide. “Whee!” they laughed, having fun even though they were a little scared. “Uh-oh, we don’t have any brakes!” Bartleby shouted. They were ready for a crash landing, but they knew they could handle anything together.
True and Bartleby learned that with teamwork and a little help from friends, they could overcome any challenge. What a fun and colorful adventure they had on the rainbow!
Rainbow Balance Beam: Create a simple balance beam using a long piece of tape on the floor to represent the rainbow. Encourage the children to walk along the tape, just like True and Bartleby did on the rainbow. Ask them to try walking slowly and steadily, and then try it with a friend holding their hand. Discuss how it feels different when they have someone to support them.
Teamwork Tower: Provide building blocks or cups and ask the children to work in pairs or small groups to build the tallest tower they can. Encourage them to talk about how they can help each other and share ideas, just like True and Bartleby did. After the activity, discuss how working together made the task easier and more fun.
Cloud Obstacle Course: Set up a simple obstacle course with pillows or cushions representing clouds. Ask the children to navigate through the course, pretending they are on a rainbow adventure. Encourage them to help each other if someone gets stuck, just like True called Boo-ster for help. Afterward, talk about how it felt to help and be helped by friends.

Right, True? Uh-oh. What do you mean, “uh-oh”? Oh dear. It’s like walking a tightrope. We just need to walk slow and steady. Whoa! I got you, True! Phew! Thanks. This is trickier than I thought… Ha! Not for a red-tabby Kittynatti. Watch me, OK? And then just do what I do. [ballet music plays] See True? Easy peasy, rainbow squeezy! Hang on, B! Whoa! I gotcha! Phew. You OK, Bartleby? I am now. But I don’t think I could have held myself up much longer. Whoa! We’re high! This could work if we do it together. I’ll hold you up, and you hold me up, OK? OK, you got it. Steady… Easy… OK, come on. You can do it, True! Just don’t look down! ‘Cause we’re up so high, and you don’t want to get dizzy. You don’t even want to think about falling ’cause it’ll be like… Oh, I can’t look! Done. What? We’re here. We made it. We did it! Go Teamwork, right? [laughs] Thanks, B. Couldn’t have done it without you. And look, we’re almost at the top of the Rainbow. Yeah, we can handle anything this wacky Rainbow can throw at us. [thunder cracks] And I spoke too soon. Come on, we’d better be quick if we’re going to beat that storm. Excuse me. Hi! We really need to get to the other side of the rainbow. Could you please let us through? Aw, you’re stuck and you’re too full of rain to move? What do we do, True? We can’t just stroll through a lightning cloud. One wrong move and… Not if we use some Wish power to blow it away. Time for my first Wish! Zip, zap, zoo, I choose you! Wake up, Boo-ster, Wish come true! Hi, Boo-ster. See that big storm cloud over there? It’s stuck on the rainbow and it needs our help. Let’s give it a push with your super strong wind! OK, Boo-ster… Blow, blow… blow! Look, it’s ticklish. One more time, Boo-ster. [inhales] [wind whistles] [laughing] You’re welcome. Thanks for not zapping us. Great job, Boo-ster! Now back in the pack! Whoa! Be careful, B. It’s a little slippery… Whee! Woo-hoo! Uh, True? I know this is fun and all… but we don’t have any brakes! Prepare for a crash landing!
