Once upon a time, in a land far away
There was a little kid who loved to play
With skates on their feet and a bike to ride
They'd race around with joy and pride

In their backyard, there was a swing
That they'd push and soar and sing
Up in the air, they felt so free
As they reached for the sky and the tallest tree

On the table, there was a treat
A cookie or a yummy sweet
But before they could take a bite
They had to finish their homework right

At night, they'd sleep in their cozy bed
With dreams of flying an airplane in their head
Outside, a fence kept them safe and sound
As they snuggled up and snoozed so sound

And in the morning, when they woke up
They'd run outside to drink from a cup
And start a new day with a smile on their face
Ready for more adventures and fun to embrace

Reflections

1. What is your favorite activity to do in your own backyard?
2. What do you think the kid learned from doing their homework before playing?
3. If you could fly anywhere in an airplane, where would you go?
4. Why is it important to have a fence around your yard?
5. How did the swing make the kid feel when they were flying up in the air?
