If you see someone who needs help, like a neighbor, you can offer to help them. That’s a wonderful gift!
You can teach someone something new. Maybe you know how to draw a fun picture or sing a song!
Say hi to someone you haven’t played with before. You might make a new friend!
When someone is talking, listen carefully. It’s a great way to show you care.
If a friend is sick, you can make them a nice card. It shows you care about them.
Make something special, like a drawing, and give it to someone you love.
Spend time with someone you care about. Play a game or read a book together!
If someone is sad, be there to listen and give them a hug.
When someone feels down, say something nice to cheer them up!
Work together with friends to make things easier and more fun!
Plant a tree or a flower in your garden. It’s a gift for the Earth!
Pick up trash and help keep our planet clean and beautiful.
Say thank you to someone who helped you today. It makes them feel appreciated!
If you have extra toys or clothes, share them with others who need them.
If you have toys you don’t play with anymore, give them to kids who don’t have any.

Hello to all of you! I’m so glad we’re all one big reading family. I hope you enjoyed our story today. See you next time!
Helping Hands Activity: At home or in the classroom, look for someone who might need a little help. It could be a friend who needs help tying their shoes or a teacher who needs help organizing books. Offer your help and see how it makes both of you feel. Talk about how helping others can be a special gift.
Nature’s Gift Exploration: Go on a nature walk with your family or classmates. Collect small items like leaves, rocks, or flowers. Use these items to create a nature collage or a small garden in a pot. Discuss how taking care of nature is a gift to the Earth and how it makes our world a better place.
Words of Hope Challenge: Think of someone who might need cheering up. It could be a family member, a friend, or even a pet! Create a card or draw a picture with a kind message. Share it with them and observe how your words can be a powerful gift that brings joy and hope.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
