Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have fun with a story called “When I’m a Grown-Up” by Ann Fonder. Let’s imagine all the exciting things we can do when we grow up!
Have you ever thought about what you want to be when you grow up? Maybe you’ll fly like a bird in the sky or swim like a fish in the sea. What do you think?
When you grow up, you might fly a spaceship to Mars or take care of animals in a zoo. Doesn’t that sound like an adventure?
Will you be as tall as a giraffe or as round as a ball? It’s fun to imagine how big you might grow!
What will you eat when you’re grown up? Maybe you’ll enjoy pineapple pie or another yummy treat. What’s your favorite treat? I love watermelon! Fruits are so tasty, don’t you think?
When you’re grown up, who will live with you? Maybe your mommy or daddy, or perhaps a pet like a frog, a dog, or even a hoppity flea!
What clothes will you wear when you’re grown up? Do you have a favorite outfit, or do you like to wear anything fun and comfy?
How will you travel when you’re grown up? Maybe you’ll ride in a car, on a rhino, or even swing from a star! That sounds like so much fun!
No matter what you do or who you become, the most important thing is to be yourself. Being you is the best!
Can you find the little cakes in the story? What other foods did you see? Do you remember any of the animals? What do you think the little girl will do when she’s grown up? Who might live with her?
Thanks for joining us for this story! We hope you had fun imagining all the possibilities of growing up. See you next time for another adventure!
Future Me Drawing: Grab some crayons and paper! Draw a picture of what you think you’ll look like when you grow up. Will you be wearing a special outfit or doing something exciting? Share your drawing with a friend and talk about what you drew.
Imagination Adventure: Pretend you’re on an adventure as a grown-up. Are you flying a spaceship or taking care of animals? Use toys or stuffed animals to act out your adventure. What sounds do you hear? What do you see around you?
Favorite Foods Exploration: Think about the yummy treats mentioned in the story. Ask a grown-up to help you try a new fruit or make a simple snack together. What does it taste like? Is it sweet, sour, or crunchy? Talk about your favorite foods and why you like them.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
