Once upon a time, there was a curious green dinosaur named Dizzy. He loved to explore and was always searching for new adventures. One day, he stumbled upon a strange, shiny object half-buried in the mud. It was a time machine!
Pretend you're digging and find something shiny.
As Dizzy brushed the mud off the time machine, it started to beep and whirl. Blinking lights covered the device, and he couldn't resist pressing a big red button. Suddenly, everything started spinning around him.
Spin around like you're in a swirling time machine.
Dizzy felt a tug and saw the world blur. With a pop, everything became still and quiet. He opened his eyes to see that he was no longer in his familiar prehistoric jungle.
Blink your eyes and look around, surprised at the new surroundings.
He saw tall buildings made of glass and metal towering above him. Cars zoomed by, and people walked with little screens in their hands. Dizzy realized he had traveled to the year 2024!
Point at tall buildings and pretend to dodge zooming cars.
Dizzy wanted to explore, but he knew he would need to be careful. He couldn't let anyone see a dinosaur in 2024! He found an empty alley and peeked around the corner, watching the busy city life.
Hide behind your hands then peek out slowly.
He found a park with trees and children playing. It reminded him of his own time. Dizzy was careful to stay hidden behind a large bush, his green scales blending in with the leaves.
Crouch down like you're hiding behind a bush.
A friendly dog wandered up to the bush and sniffed around. It looked at Dizzy with curiosity, but it wasn't scared. The dog's wagging tail showed it just wanted to play.
Pretend to wag your tail like a friendly dog.
Dizzy realized that even in the future, some things don't change. Friendship and play were still important. He gently patted the dog, and for a moment, they played together in the park.
Pat the air like you're petting a friendly dog.
After their play, Dizzy spotted the time machine near a fountain. He knew it was time to return to his own era. Saying goodbye to his new friend, he made his way back to the machine.
Wave goodbye and pretend to walk with determination.
With a better understanding of how the time machine worked, Dizzy carefully set the dials to his home time. He felt the familiar spin as the time machine activated.
Turn imaginary dials and brace yourself for a time jump.
In a flash of light and a whirl of colors, Dizzy was back in his time, surrounded by the lush green jungle. He had many stories to tell his friends about the future, where dinosaurs are only seen in books.
Spread your arms wide as if you're back home in a familiar place.
Dizzy realized that, no matter the time or place, adventure awaited. And with his trusty time machine, who knew where he would go next?
Put your hands on your hips and look up, dreaming of your next adventure.
