One day, some friends were having fun with their yummy juice and fries. But oh no, there was trash everywhere! What a mess!
One friend noticed that their fries were missing. They were taking a nap, and when they woke up, the fries had run away! How silly!
Another friend saw the fries being carried away by a line of tiny ants. There were so many ants, and they were all working together to take the fries back to their home.
The friends realized that the ants came because of all the trash on the floor. It was really messy, and they knew they had to clean it up. They decided to work together to pick up all the trash.
They hurried to clean everything up. “Keep it clean, keep it clean!” they said. They didn’t want the ants to come back, so they made sure to throw all the trash in the right place.
One friend felt sorry for making the mess. They promised never to throw trash on the floor again. They learned that keeping things clean is important to keep ants and other bugs away.
It’s important to always put trash in the trash can. This helps keep our places nice and tidy. Plus, it stops ants and other little critters from coming to visit. Let’s all promise to keep our spaces clean and happy!
Ant Observation Walk: Take a short walk around your school or home and look for ants. Observe where they are going and what they are carrying. Discuss with your friends or family why ants might be attracted to certain areas. Remember to be gentle and respectful to the ants!
Trash Sorting Game: Gather some clean, recyclable items like paper, plastic, and cardboard. Mix them up and have a fun game where you sort them into the correct recycling bins. Talk about why it’s important to put trash in the right place and how it helps keep our environment clean.
Story Time Reflection: After reading the story, draw a picture of what happened when the friends cleaned up their mess. Share your drawing with the class and explain why keeping things clean is important. What would you do if you saw trash on the floor?
