Once upon a time, there was a computer that loved to play hide and seek in the classroom. One day, when it was its turn to be the seeker, it hid under the chair. The other objects in the room started looking for it, but couldn't find it anywhere. Suddenly, the board said "I think I heard something under my legs!" They all looked and saw the computer giggling. "Gotcha!" The computer shouted, and the game continued.

The pencil case, who was very neat and organized, decided to join in the fun. He climbed on top of the table and pretended to be a peg board, with all his pencils as pegs. The others took turns trying to pick him up, but he was too slippery!

At the end of the game, they all sat down to catch their breath and the computer said "That was a lot of fun! Let's do it again tomorrow!" And so they did, becoming the happiest bunch of inanimate objects in the whole wide world.

Reflections

1. What objects in the classroom played hide and seek?
2. Which object pretended to be a peg board?
3. Why did the computer hide under the chair?
4. How did the other objects feel when they couldn't find the computer at first?
5. Did the objects in the story have feelings? Why or why not?
