Hello, little friend! Today, we’re going to talk about a special song called “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” It’s a fun song about stars in the night sky. Let’s learn more about it together!
Stars are bright and shiny things we see in the sky at night. They look like tiny lights far, far away. Have you ever seen them twinkling up there? They are like little diamonds sparkling in the sky!
Stars twinkle because they are so far away from us. When their light travels through the air, it makes them look like they are twinkling. It’s like when you see a light shining through water and it looks like it’s dancing!
Now, let’s sing the song together:
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Stars are very kind because they share their light with us all night long. They help make the night sky beautiful and bright. Isn’t that wonderful?
Next time you go outside at night, look up at the sky and try to find the twinkling stars. You can even make a wish on a star! Remember, stars are always there to light up the night.
I hope you enjoyed learning about stars and singing the song. Keep looking up and wondering about the amazing things in the sky!
Create Your Own Star: Gather some craft supplies like paper, scissors, glue, and glitter. Help the children cut out star shapes from the paper. Let them decorate their stars with glitter and other materials. Once finished, hang the stars around the room or at home. Ask the children to imagine what their star would say if it could talk. Encourage them to share their thoughts with the class.
Star Observation Journal: Provide each child with a small notebook to create a “Star Observation Journal.” Encourage them to look at the night sky with their family and draw the stars they see. Ask them to note how many stars they can count and if they notice any patterns or shapes. In class, discuss their observations and see if they can identify any constellations.
Why Do Stars Twinkle? Experiment: Fill a clear glass with water and shine a flashlight through it in a dark room. Let the children observe how the light dances and twinkles as it passes through the water. Explain that this is similar to how starlight twinkles as it travels through the Earth’s atmosphere. Ask the children to describe what they see and how it relates to the twinkling stars.
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
