How do you talk to kids about the “mushy” topic of LOVE in a fun entertaining way that they will enjoy?
THIS TALE IS YOUR SOLUTION! (Available as a download and lesson HERE)
Without mentioning Love (or that “s” word) it addresses the same issue – WAITING and not giving yourself away, so you don’t miss out on a great thing later. After the tale the teacher can make the point as it relates to the topic of giving ourselves away to others when it comes to our heart and our love.
ENJOY:
Two scientists hire a dummy to test their new experiment. The dummy had to wait until lunch break was finished, but ended up giving parts of himself to others in need. He was rejected for the project because he wasn’t complete anymore. This tale talks about waiting for love, to save all your pieces for the right one.
