Once upon a time, in a land far away,
There were some words that wanted to play.
"Break!" said one, as it jumped up and down,
"I'm a word that can turn a smile into a frown!"

"Symbol!" said another, standing up tall,
"I represent ideas, big and small."
"Slang!" said a third, with a wink and a grin,
"I'm the cool way to talk, let the fun begin!"

"Receive!" said a fourth, with open arms,
"I'm the word that welcomes all kinds of charms."
"Casualty!" said a fifth, with a solemn tone,
"I'm the word that tells when someone's not alone."

"Reservation!" said a sixth, with a nod of the head,
"I'm the word that books a place to rest your head."
"Secure!" said a seventh, standing strong and true,
"I'm the word that makes sure things are safe for you."

"Discrimination!" said an eighth, with a sad sigh,
"I'm the word that means some people can't fly."
"Plan!" said a ninth, with a spark in the eye,
"I'm the word that helps you reach for the sky."

"Method!" said a tenth, with a confident air,
"I'm the word that shows you how to get there."
Together they played, these words big and small,
Teaching kids new things, and having a ball.

Reflections

1. What do the different words in the story represent and why are they important?
2. How do the words in the story help us communicate and express ourselves?
3. What do you think the word "discrimination" means, and why is it a sad word in the story?
4. What are some other words you know that are important in everyday life, and why are they important?
5. How can we use the words we learn to make the world a better place?
