Model

After the host introduces the slideshow, point to the photo on screen. Ask children: What does the place in the picture look like? (white, chair, hallways). Who needs to go to a hospital? (people who are hurt, people who are sick) Ask children: Have you ever been to a hospital? (answers will vary). Say: There are many reasons why someone might need to go to a hospital. What are some reasons? (a broken arm or leg, being sick, needing a check-up).

Apply

Have children play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature. After the first game, ask children to talk about how the items on the screen could help them feel better if they were sick or hurt and help the children learn more about hospitals. After the second game, have them discuss what Marcus felt like when he got home.
