ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Pete the Kitty and the Groovy Playdate (Pete the Cat) – Story Book Read Along for Kids
Pete the Kitty jumps out of bed with a big smile. “Yay! Today is my playdate with Grumpy Toad! It’s going to be so much fun!”
Pete sees Grumpy Toad’s cool blue truck. “Vroom, vroom! Let’s zoom around the room!” Pete says. But Grumpy Toad frowns and says, “That truck is mine, mine, mine!”
Pete finds some colorful blocks. “Let’s build a big city!” he says excitedly. But Grumpy Toad shakes his head, “Those blocks are mine, mine, mine!”
Pete spots a superhero cape. “Look, I’m Super Kitty!” he shouts. But Grumpy Toad pouts, “That cape is mine, mine, mine!”
Pete feels sad because he has no toys to play with. He thinks, “This playdate isn’t fun. What can I do?”
Pete has an idea. “Grumpy Toad, wouldn’t it be more fun if we played together?” he asks.
Grumpy Toad looks at his toys and thinks about playing alone. “Hmm, playing together does sound better,” he says.
Grumpy Toad smiles and shares his truck with Pete. “You push me, and I’ll push you! Vroom, vroom!” they laugh.
Grumpy Toad gives Pete some blocks. “Let’s build a city together!” he says. They stack the blocks high and wide.
Grumpy Toad shares his cape. “Let’s be superheroes! Wonder Toad and Super Kitty to the rescue!” they shout.
Grumpy Toad and Pete play with all the toys. “What a groovy, awesome day!” Pete says happily. “Thank you for sharing, Grumpy Toad. Sharing is the best!”
Sharing makes playtime more fun for everyone. When we share, we can have more adventures and make new friends!
Sharing Circle: Gather in a circle with your classmates. Each child brings a small toy or item from home. Take turns sharing your toy with the person next to you. Talk about how it feels to share and how it feels when someone shares with you. What new games or stories can you create together using the shared toys?
Build a Community: Using building blocks, work together in small groups to create a community. Each child can contribute by building a house, a school, or a park. Discuss how sharing blocks helps you build something bigger and better. What happens when everyone shares their ideas and materials?
Superhero Sharing Adventure: Imagine you are superheroes like Wonder Toad and Super Kitty. Create a superhero story where you need to share your superhero tools to save the day. Draw pictures of your adventure and share your story with the class. How did sharing help you succeed in your mission?
