This is a story about a little girl who wanted to play with the moon. Her Daddy waited for
the moon to get “smaller” until he’s able to bring the moon down from the sky and let his
little girl play with it for awhile.

Tell the kids to raise their arms over
their head, fingetips touching like a
moon, each time they hear the word
‘moon’. Read the story to the class
and praise them when they raise their
arms, whenever they hear the word
moon.
Teachers can prepare some
objects/toys and keep them in a feely
bag or basket to use them as they
read the story so as to reinforce
pupils’ understanding.
