One day, Johny was having lots of fun. He went to see a movie, played with his X-Box, read a comic, and even ate some yummy ice cream!
Johny’s Papa wanted to know what Johny was up to. So, he asked Johny some questions.
Papa asked, “Johny, did you go to the movie?”
Johny giggled and said, “No, Papa.”
Papa smiled and said, “I see your ticket! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
Then Papa asked, “Johny, were you playing X-Box?”
Johny chuckled and said, “No, Papa.”
Papa laughed and said, “I see the joystick! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
Papa asked, “Johny, were you reading a comic?”
Johny smiled and said, “No, Papa.”
Papa grinned and said, “Show me your hands! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
Papa asked, “Johny, did you eat ice cream?”
Johny laughed and said, “No, Papa.”
Papa chuckled and said, “Open your mouth! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
Finally, Johny asked, “Papa, do you love me?”
Papa pretended and said, “No, Johny.”
Johny giggled and asked, “Telling lies?”
Papa laughed and said, “Yes, Johny. Give me a hug.”
Papa hugged Johny and said, “I love you, Johny.”
And that’s how Johny and Papa had a fun and silly day together, full of laughter and love!
Movie Ticket Hunt: Let’s play a game like Johny and Papa! Pretend you are detectives. Look around your home or classroom for things that show what someone has been doing. For example, if you find a book, maybe someone was reading. Share what you find with your friends and guess what activities they might have been doing!
Ice Cream Experiment: Johny ate ice cream, and Papa could tell by looking at his mouth. Let’s explore how ice cream melts! Take a small scoop of ice cream and place it in a bowl. Watch how it changes over time. What happens when it gets warm? Talk about why ice cream melts and how it feels when it’s melted. Can you think of other things that melt?
Feelings and Hugs: Johny and Papa shared a big hug at the end. Let’s think about feelings! Draw a picture of a time when you felt happy like Johny. What made you feel that way? Share your picture with a friend and give them a hug, just like Johny and Papa did. How does giving and receiving a hug make you feel?
