Hello, friends! It’s me, The Bad Seed! Today, we’re going to have some fun with a nursery rhyme about a shoe and a big family. Are you ready to hear it? Let’s go!
Once upon a time, there was an old woman who lived in a shoe. Can you imagine living in a shoe? It must be a very big shoe!
This old woman had lots and lots of children. She had so many children that sometimes she didn’t know what to do! But she loved them all very much.
Every night, she gave them some yummy broth to eat with lots of bread. After dinner, she gave each child a big, warm kiss and sent them off to bed. What a cozy way to end the day!
Now, let’s get our brains moving! Can you think of a fun place where you would like to live? Maybe in a treehouse or a castle? Use your imagination!
And remember, just like the old woman, it’s important to show love and care to the people around us. Maybe you can give someone a hug or draw them a picture today!
Thanks for joining me, The Bad Seed, for this fun story time. See you next time for more adventures!
Shoe House Craft: Gather some craft materials like paper, markers, glue, and scissors. Encourage the children to create their own “shoe house” using these materials. Ask them to think about what their shoe house would look like and who would live inside. This activity helps children use their creativity and think about space and design.
Imagination Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to imagine what it would be like if different objects were homes, like a tree, a bench, or a slide. Encourage them to describe what it would be like to live there and who might live with them. This activity helps children practice imaginative thinking and observation skills.
Family Love Circle: Have the children sit in a circle and take turns sharing one way they can show love and care to their family or friends, just like the old woman in the story. They can talk about giving hugs, helping with chores, or sharing toys. This activity encourages empathy and the importance of caring for others.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
