In today’s Storytime Fun lesson, children explored the concept of opposites through the engaging book “Opposites” by Lisa Honek, which highlighted various contrasting pairs like hot and cold, big and small, and happy and sad. The session was made even more enjoyable with the introduction of a special guest, Morris the Story Time kitty, who exemplified opposites by being soft yet scratchy. The lesson encouraged children to continue their reading adventures by discovering more stories with the help of their grown-ups.
  1. What are some things that are opposite, like hot and cold?
  2. Can you think of something that is big and something that is small?
  3. How does Morris show us opposites, like being soft and scratchy?

Storytime Fun: Learning About Opposites!

Hello, friends! Welcome to Story Time! I’m so happy you’re here with me today. We have a super fun book to read, and guess what? We also have a special guest! Can you guess who it is? Here’s a hint: he’s a perfect gentleman. Let’s find out together!

Our Book: “Opposites” by Lisa Honek

Today, we’re going to read a book called “Opposites.” It’s all about things that are different from each other. Let’s jump in and see what we can learn!

Exploring Opposites

I’m hot. I’m cold. Brr, so cold!

I’m big. I’m small.

I’m spiky. I’m smooth.

I’m long. I’m short.

I’m light. I’m heavy.

I’m black and white. I’m colorful.

We are together. I’m by myself.

I’m in the front. I’m in the back.

My mouth is full. My mouth is empty.

I’m square. I’m round.

And that’s the end!

On the back of the book, we have more fun: I’m sad, and I’m happy.

Meet Morris, Our Special Guest!

Isn’t this book about opposites so much fun? I loved reading with you today! And look, here’s our special friend: Morris, the Story Time kitty cat. Isn’t he cute?

Morris is special because he has two opposite things about him. He is very soft, but he also has little claws that can be scratchy. Soft and scratchy! Say hi to Morris!

  1. Can you think of some opposites you see in your everyday life? Maybe at home or outside? Share them with us!
  2. How do you feel when you experience opposites, like being hot and then cold? Can you tell us about a time when you felt both?
  3. Morris the kitty is both soft and scratchy. Do you have a pet or a toy that has opposites too? What are they?
  1. Opposite Hunt: Go on an opposite hunt around your home or classroom! Find pairs of objects that are opposites. For example, look for something big and something small, something soft and something hard, or something light and something heavy. Share your findings with your friends or family and explain why they are opposites.

  2. Opposite Art: Create an art project that shows opposites. Use crayons, markers, or paints to draw two pictures on one piece of paper. One side should show something hot, and the other side should show something cold. You can also choose other opposites like day and night or happy and sad. Display your artwork and talk about the opposites you chose.

  3. Opposite Storytime: With the help of a grown-up, create your own short story using opposites. Think about a character who experiences different opposite things, like being in a noisy place and then a quiet place, or feeling hungry and then full. Share your story with your friends or family and see if they can spot all the opposites!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:
