Preparing for Story Time with Rella B: A Fun, Interactive Experience for Kids

Welcome to another exciting edition of Rella B's YouTube channel, where story time comes to life with fun activities and engaging adventures! Today, we're diving into a magical journey that's not only educational but also packed with plenty of fun for kids. Whether it's stretching exercises, riddles, or reading a kids book aloud, we have it all. Get ready to awaken your body and mind as we explore the world of storytelling together!

Get Ready for Story Time with Fun Stretches

Before we start our adventure, it’s important to get our bodies ready for a fun and focused reading experience. Stretching is not just for the body—it's also a great way to get our brains primed for the exciting story ahead. Follow along with Rella B as we engage in these simple yet effective stretches.

Arm Stretches

We begin by reaching up to the sky, stretching our arms wide, and feeling the excitement in our fingertips. These stretches get our blood flowing and our minds focused for the fun ahead.

Touch Your Toes

Next, we bring those wiggles down to our toes. Straight legs or bent, the goal is to feel the stretch and get ready for an engaging reading session.

Side Stretches

We raise one arm over our head and lean to the opposite side, followed by the other arm. It’s a fun way to wake up our bodies and prepare for the adventure that awaits!

Leg Stretches

Side leg stretches are next to loosen up those legs and get ready for the day’s excitement. Stretching both legs ensures we’re fully awake and engaged.

Squats

Let’s finish with some squats to really get those muscles working. Whether you keep your legs close or spread them out, this simple exercise helps build strength and focus.

Ending with a Hug

Finally, we end our stretching with a big self-hug. It's a wonderful way to show gratitude to our bodies for getting us ready for story time!

Rella’s Fun Riddle

Now that we’re stretched and ready, it’s time for a riddle! Riddles not only help spark curiosity but also encourage critical thinking. See if you can guess this one!

The Riddle

Rella B gives us three hints:

• “I’m small and fluffy. Normally, I can be your companion and live in your home.”
• “I like to crawl and creep at night. I have claws.”
• “I have whiskers that sometimes twitch with curiosity.”

Did you guess it? If you thought of a cat, you're right! Now, let’s dive into today’s story!

Introducing "Magoo and His Magic Poo"

Rella B introduces us to a funny and heartwarming story about Magoo, a cat with a very unique superpower. The story teaches kids how something that seems negative can be turned into something amazing!

Learning New Words in Multiple Languages

Before we start the story, Rella B teaches us how to say “cat” in both American Sign Language and Spanish. Learning new languages while reading makes the experience even more enriching!

• American Sign Language: Pinch your thumb and index finger together at your cheek, then pull away to mimic whiskers.
• Spanish: "Cat" in Spanish is “gato.”

Magoo and His Magic Poo: A Superpowered Cat’s Adventure

Let’s meet Magoo, the lovable cat with a stinky but magical superpower! His poop might be smelly, but it’s his secret weapon in the fight for good!

The Plot Unfolds

One day, Magoo discovers a sad puppy mill where puppies are trapped. With the help of his new friend, Tippy the puppy, Magoo decides to use his magical, stinky poop to free the puppies from their cages. But it’s not all smooth sailing—Magoo faces challenges along the way, including a constipation issue that keeps him from using his superpower. With determination and a bit of help from prunes, Magoo is back in action and rescues the puppies!

Magoo's Message: Embrace Your Unique Superpower

At the end of the story, Rella B reflects on the importance of embracing our unique qualities. Just like Magoo, we all have special talents that can help others. What seems like a flaw might just be our greatest strength!
