S1E33, MORNING Big Heart Love (R)
[INTRODUCTION]
Taes: Good morning. My name is Taes and I want to welcome you to today.
Can you wave your hand and say, “Good morning, day.”
Can you put your hands on your heart and say, “Good morning, heart.”
And I want to say good morning to you.
I just love getting to start today with you as we check in, as we wake up our bodies, and as we think about what is in store for us today.
Are you ready to start off our morning? Great!
So let's get started with our activity.
[BIG HEART LOVE]
Taes: It's so good to see you today.
Can you jump up on your feet? And can you draw the shape of a heart in front of you in the air? Ready? Good.
Now, can you draw the shape of a heart on the palm of your hand? Good.
Now, can you take that hand and put it on your real heart in your body and take your other hand and put it on top of that hand? Good.
Now just give your heart a little wake up rub. And can you say, Good morning, heart”?
Now, can you reach your arms up over your head and make the shape of a heart with your arms? How are you going to do that? Yeah, there you go. I like it.
Now, can you lift up one of your feet and draw the shape of a heart with your toes? It's getting tricky. Yeah, you got it.
Okay, now can you switch feet and draw the shape of a heart with your other toe? Yep. You got it.
And now can you imagine collecting all of the hearts that you've just drawn? So stretch your arms out as big as you can collect all of the hearts, the ones you drew with your feet, the ones you drew with your hands, the ones you drew at the air,. You're going to bring them in and put them inside of your heart.
Take a big deep breath in and let it out and just imagine all of those hearts inside of your heart. All of that love inside of your heart.
And now can you imagine who else lives inside of your heart? Can you think of all of the people that you love? And let's imagine them living inside of your heart too.
And what else could you put inside of your heart? Maybe there's some animals you love. Can you put them inside of your heart? Good.
Now, one more time, can you draw the shape of a heart on your chest? You got it.
And know that all day long, your heart is filled up with so much love. Your heart is filled up with all of the people that you love and all of the people that love it. As well as all of the animals.
So I want you to take all of that love and go out there into the world and have an amazing big heart day.
[CLOSING]
Taes: I'm so excited for you and for your day.
And I want to say thank you so much for starting today with me and for setting yourself up for a big heart kind of day.
I can't wait to see you tonight and hear about all of the things that you did.
Remember: there is nobody in the whole world with a heart, just like yours.
I love you. And I love your big heart so much.
