About This Lesson
A ready-to-teach lesson for ages 4 to 7, built on the fable The Silly Grasshopper and the trait of frivolity: playing before the work is done. Children follow the fable, then vote on everyday choices while two jars of beans show whose winter store is filling. Includes a lesson page, a teacher's sheet with six situations to vote on, and notes for adapting it from Pre-K to Grade 2. Color and printer-friendly versions included.
The fable is in the sing-along video linked below: play it where the lesson says to read it aloud. The matching coloring poster is in the free A to Z poster set on this profile.
