👀Did you Notice…

Bonjour, Kiddos! In C’est La Fete, Becky, Jae, and Géraldine had to get all the things needed for a party. Did you notice:

What Jae used to get through the subway turnstile?

Which mask Géraldine tried on at the party store?

What Becky drank while she was building her rocket?

👣Move your body…

Can you… Act out what it would look like to jump in a bouncy castle?

Can you… Mime baking your favorite recipe? (Show how it tastes when you’re all done!)

Can you… Pretend you are fishing for a star? (You’ll need a friend to play the stars!)

👀Let’s Imagine…

What would YOU bring to a party, if you could bring anything in the world? (🚀Or beyond!!)

If you could throw a party for someone special in your life, who would you choose?

The alien showed Becky a special dance to make a star. Can you make up your own star dance?
