ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten The Great Big Turnip | Fairy Tales | Musical | PINKFONG Story Time for Children
Once upon a time, there was an old man who had some tiny seeds called turnip seeds. He decided to plant them in his garden. Every day, he watered the seeds and watched them grow.
One of the turnips started to grow bigger and bigger! The old man was so happy. He thought, “I can make yummy turnip soup, turnip bread, and even turnip jam!”
One day, the turnip was so big that it was ready to be picked. The old man tried to pull it out of the ground. He pulled and pulled, but it wouldn’t come out!
The old man called for help. “Help! Help me!” he shouted. The old woman came to help him. They both pulled and pulled, but the turnip still wouldn’t come out.
Then, they asked the old cat to help. “Please help us!” they said. The old cat joined them, and they all pulled together, but the turnip stayed stuck.
The old cat went to find the young mouse. “Please help us pull out the great big turnip!” the cat asked. The young mouse agreed to help.
The young mouse pulled the old cat, the old cat pulled the old woman, the old woman pulled the old man, and the old man pulled the great big turnip. Suddenly, POP! The turnip came out, and everyone fell over!
That night, they all sat down for a delicious dinner. They had turnip soup, turnip bread, and turnip jam. “Eat your soup! Eat it all up!” said the old woman. They even had turnip ice cream for dessert. Yummy!
And that’s how the great big turnip adventure ended with a happy meal for everyone!
Plant Your Own Seeds: Let’s try planting seeds just like the old man! You can use any seeds you have at home, such as beans or sunflower seeds. Plant them in a small pot with soil, water them every day, and watch them grow. Keep a journal with drawings of how your plant changes each week. What do you notice about how plants grow?
Role Play the Story: Gather some friends or family members and act out the story of the great big turnip. You can take turns being the old man, the old woman, the cat, and the mouse. Use a pillow or a stuffed toy as the turnip. Can you all work together to pull the turnip out? How does it feel to work as a team?
Turnip Tasting Adventure: Ask an adult to help you find some turnips at the store. Try cooking them in different ways, like making turnip soup or roasted turnip slices. How do they taste? What other vegetables could you try cooking in different ways? Share your favorite way to eat turnips with your family!
