Activity: Students listen to the video, and teachers lead a circle time discussion, followed by an art activity in which each student decorates their own curiosity badge. Materials Needed: the video; a curiosity badge for each student - teachers can make their own design or copy the one in the book; art materials for decorating the badge; strips of paper to measure around each students head - the badge can be attached to the head band; a stapler or tape to fasten the badge onto the headbandDirections: Introduce the video and explain that it’s about a gift we all have which is curiosity - we’re born with it! Ask students to share about any experiences they’ve had using their gift of curiosity. Show the video. Explain: “Now that you know a lot about curiosity, you have all earned a curiosity badge that you can wear on a headband and take home.” Explain the activity of decorating their curiosity badge. Provide as many materials as possible for them to use for decorating, such as glitter, pom poms, feathers, sequins, etc. Encourage them to be creative. Measure each student’s head to make a headband, and help them fasten their completed badge on the headband. Take a picture and post it in the classroom to remind students to be curious! Wrap it up: “Please show your special curiosity headbands to your family and tell them what you learned about this wonderful gift we all have. Remember the question words you can use when you want to know more about something: who, what, when, where, why, and how? Let’s repeat them after me!” Have students chant the words with you to help them remember, maybe even make up a song and actions to go with it.
