Opposites and Rhyming for Toddlers! Early Literacy Skills, Music, and More.

Hey, Little Lights, it's me, Miss HJ. Today, we're gonna have so much fun learning rhyming words in opposites. Opposites, you know, like up, down, and we're gonna have the help of some of our friends. So come on, let's go play together. But first, you know I have to ask, did you shine your light for Jesus this week? You did? You know what that means? We have to sing the song. All right, get your shakers ready or clap your hands, you ready? ♪ This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine ♪ ♪ Oh, this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine ♪ ♪ This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine ♪ ♪ Let it shine ♪ Yay, come on, let's go play. It's hot in here, I'm sweating. The sun is making me so hot. Ooh, I'm getting cold now. So cold in the snow. Yeah, hot and cold, those are opposites. Opposites are two things that are very different from one another. I have a song we can sing together to help us understand opposites. Sing it with me, you ready? This is big, big, big, and this is small, small, small. This is short, short, short, and this is tall, tall, tall. This is fast, fast, fast, and this is slow, slow, slow. This is yes, yes, yes, and this is no, no, no. You think you can do it with me again? Okay, this is big, big, big, and this is small, small, small. This is short, short, short, and this is tall, tall, tall. This is fast, fast, fast, this is slow, slow, slow. This is yes, yes, yes, this is no, no, no. See, two things that are very different from each other. I have an idea, let's invite a friend to come help us learn more about opposites. It's Mr. Moo. Hello, Mr. Moo, are you gonna help us learn about opposites? Some apples here are on the tree and some apples here are off of the tree. On and off are opposites. Mr. Moo wants to eat the apples that are on the tree, not off the tree. Which one should he eat? Yes, these ones are on the tree, good job. On and off are opposites. Mr. Moo wants to eat the apples that are big, not small. Which ones are big? Yeah, these are the big apples. Big and small are opposites. Mr. Moo wants to go into the barn that is close, not the barn that is far. Which barn is close to Mr. Moo? Yes, this is the barn that's close to Mr. Moo. That one is far away. Close and far are opposites. What is that? Oh, you wanna play music. Okay, I think that's a great idea. Let me grab my xylophone. Let's use our xylophone to learn more about opposites. Did you know that high and low are opposites? Like this, high, low, high, low. Sing it with me, high, low. And did you know that up and down are also opposites? Take your hand and go up, up, up, up, up. And take your hand and go down, up, down. Good job, I have an idea. Let's sing la, la, and go up the scale. You ready? Sing it with me. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Now let's sing the notes and go down the scale. With me, you ready? Start on this note. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Up and down one more time, you ready? Start on this note. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Good job, little lights. That's up and down. And those are opposites too. Look who it is. It's Buck Buck Chicken. Say hi, Buck Buck. Okay, she said she feels left out and she wants to play opposites with us too. And she wants to sing the opposite song again together. You wanna sing it together? Okay. This is big, big, big, and this is small, small, small. This is short, short, short, and this is tall, tall, tall. This is fast, fast, fast. This is slow, slow, slow. This is yes, yes, yes, and this is no, no, no. Again, this is big, big, big, and this is small, small, small. This is short, short, short. This is tall, tall, tall. This is fast, fast, fast. This is slow, slow, slow. This is yes, yes, yes, and this is no, no, no. Good job. Oh, what is that? You wanna count? She wants to do some counting. She laid some eggs for us. You think we could go count some eggs from Buck Buck Chicken? All right, come on. Look at all these eggs. I'm impressed. That's a lot of eggs, but that's a really high number. Do you think we can count that high? I think we can too. All right, let's count. You ready? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. That is a lot of eggs. Thanks for counting Buck Buck Chicken's eggs with us. Big and small are opposites. No matter how small you are, Little Light, God is the biggest and he is our protector. Dry, wet. Which kitty is wet? Long and short. Which animal is long? Inside, outside. Hot and cold. Which treat is cold? Adult and child. Hey, you're a child. Happy and sad. Jesus always gives us joy when we're feeling sad. We just have to ask him. Boy, girl. God made boys and God made girls and he loves them both the same. Are you a boy or a girl? You can only be one. If you're a boy, you'll always be a boy and if you're a girl, you'll always be a girl and God loves you both just the same. The dog bowls are empty and full. Clean and dirty. When our hearts are dirty, God cleans us up. Left, right. Young and old. Little Light, are you young? Of course you are. What is that? Bok Bok wants to sing Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Do you want to sing with us? Okay, but not without Mr. Moo. Say, Mr. Moo, Mr. Moo. Hi, Mr. Moo. Okay, let's sing it together. You ready? Old MacDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o and on that farm he had a cow, e-i-e-i-o with a moo moo here and a moo moo there. Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo.
