Read together
Come and play with me today,
We'll build something grand, I say.
With a saw and a drill in hand,
We'll make something just as planned.
We'll hammer nails with all our might,
And make sure everything is tight.
We'll hang a shelf up on the wall,
And make it straight, not crooked at all.
We'll build a fort or a treehouse,
And make sure it's as quiet as a mouse.
We'll sand the wood to make it smooth,
And make sure it's ready to groove.
So come and join me, don't you wait,
Let's build something great, don't hesitate.
With a saw, drill, hammer, and sand,
We'll create something truly grand!
Talk about it
Reflection
Of course, here are a few questions to ask kids to think about a story:
- What was your favorite part of the story and why?
- Who was your favorite character in the story and why?
- What was the problem in the story and how was it solved?
- What did you learn from the story?
- If you could change one thing about the story, what would it be and why?
- How would you feel if you were one of the characters in the story?
- What lesson or moral did you take away from the story?
- How would the story be different if it took place in a different setting?
- What do you think will happen to the characters after the story ends?
- What would you do if you were in the same situation as the characters in the story?
