Read together
Once upon a time, in a land far away
Lived a little girl who loved to play
She had a can of glitter and glue
And a car that she painted bright blue
One day, she decided to bake a cake
With frosting and sprinkles, it would be great
But first, she put on her favorite cap
And called her friends to come and chat
As they sang and played, they noticed a smell
Coming from the candle that burned so well
The little girl blew it out with a huff
And they all enjoyed the cake, feeling stuffed
So remember, dear children, when you're having fun
To always be safe and not to run
And if you need help, just give a call
And we'll come running, one and all!
Talk about it
Reflection
- What did the little girl have in her can, and what did she use it for?
- What color did the little girl paint her car, and why do you think she chose that color?
- What kind of cake did the little girl make, and how did she decorate it?
- What did the little girl wear on her head, and why do you think she put it on?
- Who did the little girl call, and what did they do together?
- What did the little girl do when she noticed the smell of the candle?
- What message do you think the poem is trying to convey?
