Before we read the story, this is how we will start our day. The super inventor in your country awaits  the children in a sad mood. When children enter into the classroom, all plugs are unplugged and the light is out.
From this situation you explore the concept of electricity with the children and the super inventor asks the questions that help the children explore the concept of electricity/the new topic.

What's wrong?
What's going on?
What happened?
What is electricity?
Where do you need it for?

The super inventor tells the children he/she has a present for them. The book is wrapped.

Can they guess what it is?
Why do they think so?

One of the children unwraps the book and the teacher will tell the story, using the book and/or a digital version of each page if they want.

You encourage the children to fill in some of the (repetitive) words, like there is no....(ELECTRICITY) (shirt -dirt etc).

After the story see if there were any words the children didn't get and check comprehension, then tell the story one more time and see if the children can do the matching game.

Option 1: attach a piece of string with a magnet on a stick and they have to fish up the right anwer to the question (laminated cards with a paperclip on the back)

Option 2: different objects, which ones are magnetic and which ones aren't

Option 3: laminated cards with questions on them and let the pupils fish the questions and answer them

Divide a page in 4 parts.
Read the book out loud and stop at 1/4 of the story. Students draw what they heard until then (no talking). Do the same at 2/4, 3/4 and at the end.
The children will have 4 drawings that summarize the book.
Discuss the story.

(in Dutch this is called 'vensterruiten'.)

# data[].attributes.body
Hand out small pictures of the pages of the story with or without text. (In A5?) The teacher tells the story (without showing the book itself). Children who hear their part of the story stand up to make a line of the story.

The super inventor checks if everyone is in the right order by having every pair say the rhyming words
lake-cake
eggs-legs
stir-fur
see-electricity
now-how
mess-guess
dirt-shirt
light-right
too-you
oh no-let's go
me-3
done-fun
end-friend

Can they think of more rhymes?

To make one like this you will require

Card stock paper

Cutting blade/punch (my kid lost my punch so I resorted to cutting blade)

Scissors

Pencil

Colors

Ruler

Aluminum foil (the one used to wrap food is used here

Scotch tape

Batteries, led, wire (i used one from some old toy)

Children get double small pages of the book (2 copies of each except for page 1 (lake) and page 2 (cake))and walk around to find their friend without showing each other their card.

They ask: are you my friend? I have cake?
And the other answers, no (I'm not), I have end and friend
Then they say goodbye and will look for the child who does have their rhyming match or the same rhyming words as they do.

Once they found their friend they hand in their cards to the teacher and get two new cards, so you can play this game for a while.

Different possibilities: print pictures of the book, give them to the students and they have to stand in the correct order.
Print the images on a paper, children cut them out and glue them in the right order.
Also possible with images of activities during the day, which need electricity.

Introduction to Electricity- video for kids

In the centre of the PE hall the teacher is holding the super inventor in one hand and holding the handkerchief up in the other. On two sides of the PE hall there are groups of children holding the flashcards with the rhyming words of the book (it can just be small cards of the pages of the book). Teacher calls out a rhyming word of the book. The children from each group who have that word run to the teacher in order to grasp the flag first. He or she who's first has to go back to their place before being tagged by the other child who didn't get the flag. Each group has the name of one of the Super Inventors. The teachers calls out a number, and all children numbered three for example run to the teacher and try to grasp the handkerchief and return back to their spot. The first one to have it earns a point for their team.
