Help the Animals
Let's help the animals from the story Once I Was Very Very Scared. Children can write or draw what the animals do when they are scared, angry, frustrated, embarrassed, or ashamed. You can help them think about what might help the animals and write or draw their answers in the box. While they help the animals, we can help them think about what helps them when they feel this way.
