ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten The Tale of Peter Rabbit – Children’s Stories Read Aloud – Easter Books for Kids
Once upon a time, there was a family of rabbits. They lived in a cozy burrow under a big tree. The family had a mommy rabbit called Mrs. Rabbit and her four little bunnies: Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.
One sunny morning, Mrs. Rabbit said, “You can go play in the fields, but don’t go into Mr. McGregor’s garden!” Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail were good bunnies and went to pick berries. But Peter was curious and wanted to explore.
Peter hopped over to Mr. McGregor’s garden. He saw lots of yummy vegetables like carrots and lettuce. Peter was so excited that he started nibbling on them!
Suddenly, Mr. McGregor saw Peter and shouted, “Stop, thief!” Peter got scared and ran as fast as he could. He lost his shoes and his little blue jacket while trying to escape.
Peter was very tired and scared. He finally found a way out of the garden and ran all the way home. When he got there, he was so relieved to be safe with his family.
Mrs. Rabbit was worried about Peter, but she was glad he was home. She gave him some chamomile tea to help him feel better. Peter learned that it’s important to listen to his mommy and stay safe.
Did you know that rabbits have long ears to help them hear really well? They also love to hop and can jump very high! Rabbits eat lots of vegetables, just like Peter did in the garden.
Can you hop like a rabbit? Try jumping around like Peter and see how high you can go! Remember to listen to your parents and stay safe, just like Peter learned to do.
Rabbit Ears Listening Game: Let’s play a fun game to practice listening, just like rabbits use their long ears! Gather in a circle and take turns being the “rabbit.” The rabbit closes their eyes while the others quietly decide on a simple action, like clapping or hopping. The rabbit listens carefully and tries to guess the action. This game helps us understand the importance of listening, just like Peter learned to listen to his mommy.
Garden Exploration: Create a mini garden using toy vegetables or drawings. Pretend to be Peter and explore the garden. Discuss which vegetables are your favorites and why. Talk about why it’s important to ask permission before exploring new places, just like Peter should have done before going into Mr. McGregor’s garden.
Story Time Reflection: After reading the story, think about a time when you learned an important lesson, just like Peter did. Draw a picture of that moment and share it with the class. Discuss how listening to advice can help keep us safe and happy.
