Hey there, little friend! Are you ready to have some fun and learn something new? Today, we’re going on a treasure hunt with Chip and Susan. Are you excited? Let’s get started!
A treasure hunt is like a game where you look for hidden surprises. You follow clues to find the treasure. It’s like being a detective! Doesn’t that sound fun?
Chip and Susan have some special signs for us. We need to read them and do what they say. Let’s see what the signs say:
This means we need to move up. Maybe we can stand on our tippy toes or climb a little higher. Can you do that?
Now, we need to go down. We can crouch down low or maybe sit on the floor. Let’s try it!
Time to go out! We can pretend to walk outside or step away from where we are. Let’s take a big step!
Now, let’s come in. We can pretend to walk back inside or return to where we started. Welcome back!
Wow, look at you! You’re reading the signs and following the clues. Reading is like a special treasure you can keep forever. Isn’t that amazing?
Great job on the treasure hunt! Remember, you can always find new adventures by reading and learning. Keep exploring, and you’ll discover many more treasures!
Thanks for joining Chip, Susan, and me on this fun adventure. See you next time!
Make Your Own Treasure Map: Create a simple treasure map using paper and crayons. Draw a path with different landmarks like a tree, a rock, or a house. Hide a small toy or treat somewhere in the room or yard, and mark it with an “X” on your map. Ask a friend or family member to follow your map to find the treasure. This activity helps you practice giving and following directions, just like in a real treasure hunt!
Clue Detective Game: With the help of an adult, write down simple clues on pieces of paper and hide them around the house or classroom. Each clue should lead to the next one, and the final clue should lead to a small prize or surprise. For example, a clue might say, “Look under the table,” and the next clue will be hidden there. This game helps you think like a detective and improves your problem-solving skills.
Treasure Hunt Story Time: Gather a few of your favorite storybooks and pretend each one is a treasure. Hide them around the room and give simple directions to find them, like “Go up to the chair” or “Go down to the rug.” Once you find a book, take a moment to read a page or two. This activity combines reading with movement and makes storytime even more exciting!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
