**Intro Activity**

Welcome &amp; Set the Mood:

2. 1. Greet the kids with a big smile and get them excited! You could say something like, “Today we’re going to read a fun story and sing silly songs! Are you ready?”
    2. Tell them there’s no rush; it’s all about having fun and enjoying the learning journey

**Warm-Up Activity:**

1. Let’s get moving! Have the kids stand up and do a simple stretch or silly movements. For example:
1. “Let’s stretch like a cat… meow!”
2. “Let’s jump like frogs… ribbit, ribbit!”

3. This will help them shake off any extra energy and get ready for the story and songs.

**Main Topic/ Activity**

#### Story Reading

- Read the Story Together:
- Choose a short, simple storybook with colorful pictures (like "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" or "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?").
- Read aloud to the kids, showing them the pictures as you go.
- Ask a couple of simple questions to engage them:
- "What color is the bear?"
- "What food did the caterpillar eat?"

- Encourage them to point at the pictures while you read, connecting the words with images.


#### 2. Action Song Fun 

Song 1: "If You’re Happy and You Know It"

        - Clap hands
        - Stomp feet
        - Shout “Hooray!”
    - Let the kids suggest new actions, like jumping or spinning

Song 2: "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes"
