Once upon a time, a boy and a girl were on a little boat in the big sea.
Pretend you're rocking back and forth like a boat on the waves.
The sky was blue and the sun was bright when their boat drifted away.
Shade your eyes and look up to the sunny sky.
The boy's name was Max, and the girl was named Lily. They saw no land near.
Put your hands above your eyebrows and search for land at a distance.
Max took an oar and tried to row. But they did not move. They were lost.
Pretend to row a boat with all your might.
Lily took out a map and compass. They decided to work together to find a way home.
Hold out a map and trace a path with your finger.
They used the stars at night to guide their way, just like sailors do.
Look up at the stars and point to the North Star.
By day, they caught fish from the sea and talked about their favorite things.
Pretend to cast a fishing line into the water.
As days passed, they learned to trust and rely on one another for support.
Give a high-five to someone as a sign of trust.
Together, they laughed, sang songs, and told stories to keep their spirits up.
Laugh out loud and clap in rhythm to a song you like.
One morning, they spotted a ship. They waved their hands and shouted for help.
Wave your hands in the air and call for help softly.
The ship saw them and sailed closer. Max and Lily were going to be saved!
Pretend you're pulling a ship closer with an imaginary rope.
Once safe, they hugged. They knew they had found a special friend in each other.
Hug yourself or a friend to show happiness for being safe.
