Hey there, little friend! Today, we’re going to learn about being good friends and having fun safely. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Wow, look at those beautiful butterflies! Sometimes, we might accidentally hurt our friends. If that happens, we should say, “I’m sorry,” and our friends might say, “It’s okay.” Saying sorry is important because it shows we care about our friends’ feelings.
When we play, it’s important to be safe. Remember to wear your helmet and knee and elbow pads. This way, we can have fun and stay safe at the same time!
Good friends share their toys. If you have a big toy house, you can share it with your friend. You can also play with a ball together. One friend bounces it first, and then the other friend takes a turn. Sharing makes playing more fun!
Let’s draw a picture together! You can use one crayon, and your friend can use another. When you work together, you can make a beautiful picture. Teamwork is awesome!
Are you ready for a cupcake party? Wait until all your friends arrive before you start eating. Counting cupcakes is fun: one, two, three, four, five! Make sure everyone gets a cupcake to enjoy.
If you take something, like a cupcake or a cookie, it’s important to be honest. Show your hands and count: one, two, three, four, five! Being truthful helps everyone trust each other.
Sometimes, we need to wait for tasty treats, like corn soup. It’s hot, so be careful! Sit and wait patiently, and soon you’ll enjoy the yummy food with your friends.
When playing with water, be careful! Hot water can be dangerous. If you touch hot water, use cold water to cool it down and find a clean towel to cover it. Remember, safety first!
You’re doing great! Remember to be kind, share, and stay safe while having fun. Keep learning and playing with your friends. You’re awesome!
Friendship Bracelet Craft: Let’s make friendship bracelets! Use colorful beads and string to create a bracelet for a friend. While making the bracelet, think about what makes your friend special and how you can be a good friend to them. After making the bracelet, exchange it with your friend and talk about why saying “I’m sorry” and “It’s okay” is important in friendships.
Safety Adventure Game: Create a mini obstacle course in your backyard or living room. Include activities like hopping on one foot, crawling under a table, or balancing on a line of tape. Before starting, discuss the importance of wearing safety gear like helmets and pads. As you go through the course, think about how you can play safely and help your friends stay safe too.
Sharing and Caring Storytime: Gather your favorite toys and invite a friend to join you. Take turns telling a story using the toys as characters. As you play, practice sharing the toys and taking turns. After the story, talk about how sharing makes playing more fun and how you can share with friends in other activities.
