Hey there, little friend! Do you like playing pretend? Today, we’re going to have some fun pretending to be monsters! Imagine you are a big, friendly monster. Can you make a monster face? Grrr! Let’s play the shadow monster game together!
Once upon a time, there was a big monster who loved to play. “I’m a big monster!” it would say. The monster would stomp around and pretend to be really big and strong. But don’t worry, this monster is just playing and having fun!
After a long day of playing, it’s time to go to bed. But sometimes, when it’s dark, we might feel a little scared. That’s okay! If you ever feel scared, you can call for your mom, dad, or even your sister. They will always be there to help you feel safe.
Do you know what to do if the ground starts shaking? That’s called an earthquake. If it happens, stay calm and find a safe place to hide. You can crouch down and hold on tight with your hands. Remember, don’t use the elevator and wait until the shaking stops. You are brave and can stay safe!
After the earthquake, everyone was okay thanks to the brave firefighter elephant. “Thank you, firefighter elephant!” everyone cheered. Remember, it’s important to protect ourselves and stay safe during an earthquake.
Now, let’s imagine going on a fun adventure! Maybe you’re flying through space, saying goodbye to Earth and hello to aliens. Or perhaps you’re exploring a magical land. Wherever you go, remember to have fun and use your imagination!
That’s the end of our story for today. Remember, you can always have fun pretending and playing games. And if you ever feel scared, your family is there to help you feel safe. Goodbye, little monster! Until next time!
Monster Shadow Puppets: Let’s make our own monster shadow puppets! Use a flashlight and your hands to create different monster shapes on the wall. Can you make a monster with big ears or a long tail? Try using paper cutouts to add more details to your monster shadows. What stories can you tell with your shadow monsters?
Earthquake Safety Drill: Practice what to do during an earthquake. Pretend the ground is shaking and find a safe place to crouch down and hold on tight. You can do this under a table or next to a sturdy piece of furniture. Remember to stay calm and wait until the “shaking” stops. Talk about why it’s important to stay safe and how being prepared can help us feel brave.
