Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have a fun time with a story. Are you ready? Let’s meet our friends, Ryan and Creek Toby. They have a special guest today, Brooks Forrester. Yay!
Today, we’re reading a book called “David Gets in Trouble” by David Shannon. It’s about a boy named David who sometimes makes mistakes. Do you ever make mistakes? That’s okay!
When David does something wrong, he says, “No, it’s not my fault! I didn’t mean to!” But sometimes, he really did mean to, like when he skateboarded in the house. Oh no, David!
Have you ever been walking and something silly happens, like a toy jumps in front of you? You might say, “Whoa! It was an accident!”
David sometimes forgets things, too. He might say, “Oh, I forgot!” But that’s not always a good excuse. We all forget things sometimes, like our lunch or our jacket. Silly, right?
David has funny excuses, like saying his dog ate his homework. Have you ever heard a funny excuse like that?
One time, David had cake all over his face. He said, “It wasn’t me!” But we know it was David because there was a big chunk of cake missing. Maybe a dinosaur ate it? Just kidding!
When we make mistakes, it’s important to say, “I’m sorry.” Even if we keep making the same mistake, saying sorry helps. It’s like when you call a friend by the wrong name. It can hurt their feelings, so we say sorry.
Thanks for reading with us today! We had so much fun with Ryan, Creek Toby, and Brooks. If you liked the story, you can watch more with them. See you next time for more fun stories!
Role-Play Apologies: Gather in a circle and take turns acting out different scenarios where someone might need to say “I’m sorry.” For example, pretend you accidentally bump into a friend or forget to bring a toy back. Practice saying “I’m sorry” and discuss how it makes everyone feel better. This helps us understand the importance of apologies and how they can make things right.
Excuse Detective: Let’s play a game called “Excuse Detective!” Think of a funny excuse like “A dinosaur ate my homework,” and share it with the group. Then, talk about what really happened and how we can be honest about our mistakes. This activity encourages us to think about the difference between excuses and the truth.
Memory Match: Create a memory game using cards with pictures of common items we might forget, like a lunchbox or a jacket. Mix them up and place them face down. Take turns flipping two cards at a time to find a match. Discuss how we can remember important things, like making a checklist or asking for help. This helps us practice remembering and organizing our thoughts.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Today, we’re reading “David Gets in Trouble” by David Shannon.
When David gets in trouble, he always says, “No, it’s not my fault! I didn’t mean to!” Of course, he meant to; he chose to skateboard in the house.
Sometimes, you’re just walking along in the house, and then a skateboard jumps in front of you, and you’re like, “Whoa! It was an accident!”
Do I have to? Oh, I forgot! You forgot? That’s a bad excuse. I forget stuff all the time. Sometimes I forget my lunch, sometimes I forget my jacket, and sometimes I forget my pants!
Brooks gets it!
What I’m saying is, my dog ate my homework! I couldn’t help it!
We’re in the middle of reading the book, so keep the energy up!
Well, at least I’m not eating dog treats!
Excuse me, no, it wasn’t me!
Oh, it wasn’t? There’s cake all over your face!
That could be anything! I mean, that could be mud or a marker.
What about the chunk of cake taken out?
Uh, a Velociraptor? A dinosaur?
Yeah, pretty sure they’re real!
Yes, it was me. I’m sorry, I love you, Mom!
So if you make a mistake, even if you keep making it, all you have to do is say you’re sorry.
Even if you say your friend’s name wrong over and over again.
Oh yeah, Craig, I’m sorry I called you Greg when we first met, and I’m sorry I called you Brian. You know it hurts when people get your name wrong.
Sure does!
Anyway, thanks for being on the show, Brooks!
Good job, Brooks!
You’re welcome!
Everyone, see you next time!
