Once upon a time in the big blue ocean, there was a brave fish called Chief Shark. He was the hero of the sea, always chasing the bad guys away. But one day, something was wrong. Chief Shark felt like he couldn’t breathe!
Chief Shark was chasing a naughty thief who stole some pretty corals. But suddenly, he felt tired and couldn’t breathe well. He needed help fast!
The Super Rescue Team came to help Chief Shark. They found out that Chief Shark’s gills, which help him breathe, were hurt by a sharp piece of coral. Oh no! But don’t worry, the team quickly fixed his gills, and Chief Shark could breathe again!
With his energy back, Chief Shark was ready to catch the thief. He used his super sense of smell to find the thief hiding nearby. “Gotcha!” he shouted as he caught the thief. Hooray for Chief Shark!
Meanwhile, on land, Mr. Gecko was having a problem. He loved climbing walls, but his hand was hurt, and he couldn’t climb anymore. The Super Rescue Team checked his hand and helped him get better.
With his hand all healed, Mr. Gecko was happy and ready to climb again. He was so excited to join the fun event with all his friends!
Nearby, there was a magical vending machine that could change its goodies. Whiskers wanted to buy a battery for his toy, but the machine was unplugged. Once it was plugged back in, it worked like magic!
Whiskers tried to buy lemon juice but ended up with milk instead. It was a fun surprise! The magical vending machine was full of surprises for everyone.
Thanks to the Super Rescue Team, Chief Shark could breathe, Mr. Gecko could climb, and Whiskers had fun with the vending machine. Everyone was happy and safe, ready for more adventures!
Explore Breathing Underwater: Just like Chief Shark, fish use gills to breathe underwater. Let’s pretend to be fish! Fill a bowl with water and use a straw to blow bubbles. Notice how the bubbles rise to the top. Discuss how fish breathe in water and how it’s different from how we breathe air. Can you think of other animals that live in water and how they might breathe?
Super Sense of Smell: Chief Shark used his super sense of smell to find the thief. Let’s test our sense of smell! Gather a few items with different scents, like an orange, a flower, and a piece of chocolate. Close your eyes and have someone hold an item under your nose. Can you guess what it is just by smelling it? Talk about how different animals use their sense of smell to find food or stay safe.
Magical Vending Machine Surprises: Just like Whiskers, let’s have some fun with surprises! Create a “mystery box” filled with small toys or treats. Take turns reaching in without looking and pulling out a surprise. Discuss how surprises can be fun and how they make us feel. Can you think of a time when you were surprised by something unexpected?
