Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom, all the workers had a big dance party. The builders danced with their hammers, the teachers danced with their books, the pupils with their pencils, the doctors with their stethoscopes, the vets with their animals, the farmers with their crops and the waiters with their trays. It was a wild and hilarious sight! Suddenly, they realized they were all tired and needed a break. So they decided to switch jobs for a day. The builders became teachers, the teachers became pupils, the pupils became doctors, the doctors became vets, the vets became farmers, the farmers became waiters and the waiters became builders. The next day, everything was upside down! The builders taught in the classroom, the teachers played with pencils, the pupils gave check-ups, the doctors took care of crops, the vets served food, the farmers operated on animals and the waiters built houses. It was the funniest day ever in the kingdom and everyone learned that it is important to appreciate and respect all types of work. The end.

Reflections

1. Who switched jobs in the story?
2. What did each worker do before they switched jobs?
3. How did the workers feel after they switched jobs?
4. What did the workers learn from switching jobs?
5. Can you think of a time when you tried something new and different?
