Read a Poem
Read the poem. Then follow the instructions below.
The holidays are about to begin,
A time to wish, a time to grin.
But is your wish a game, a ball?
A boat, a bike, for you, that’s all?
Why not wish for someone who
May not have as much as you?
At this happy time of year,
Think of someone else to cheer!
Family Connection: If your family has a special holiday decoration or recipe, share it with your child. You will both enjoy the quality time you will spend together, and you will also be passing on your family tradition to the next generation.
