Read together
Once upon a time, in a jungle full of animals, the chicken and duck decided to have a picnic. They invited the giraffe, frog, cat, cow, bird, dog, elephant, and crocodile.
When they all arrived, they realized they had forgotten to bring food! The giraffe suggested they play a game where each animal would bring something to share.
The chicken brought popcorn, the duck brought cookies, the giraffe brought apples, the frog brought flies, the cat brought fish, the cow brought milk, the bird brought seeds, the dog brought bones, the elephant brought peanuts, and the crocodile brought... a giant sandwich!
Everyone was so full from eating the delicious food that they all fell asleep under a big shady tree.
The next day, when they woke up, they realized that the crocodile had run off with their food! But since it was such a beautiful day, they didn't mind and all went to play together again.
The end.
Talk about it
Reflection
- Who organized the picnic?
- What did each animal bring to share at the picnic?
- What happened when they all woke up the next day?
- What was the name of the story?
- How did the animals feel when they woke up?
