One sunny morning, Karen put on her bright blue shoes and decided to explore.
Pretend you're putting on your adventure shoes.
Outside, the birds chirped and the sun shone warmly on Karen's face as she walked.
Close your eyes and feel the sunlight on your face.
She came across a hidden gate painted in gentle lavender, just like her glasses and hearing aid.
Pretend to open a creaky magical gate.
Inside was a playground like no other! Even the tall grass whispered, 'Welcome, Karen!'
Wave hello to the whispering grass.
First, she tried the shiny slide. It whooshed so fast, the wind laughed in her ears!
Hold onto your imaginary hat as you slide down fast!
Next, the swings beckoned her. Up and down they went, all by themselves!
Pretend to soar high on a magical swing.
Karen watched and listened. She understood the rhythm and jumped on a swing, giggling.
Bounce up and down gently like you're on a swing.
With a push from the breeze, Karen swung higher, her laughter blending with the wind's.
Spread your arms wide like you're flying on a swing.
After the swings, she found a treehouse with a friendly voice saying, 'Climb up, dear friend!'
Pretend to climb a ladder to the talking treehouse.
Inside the treehouse, everything was lavender. The walls hummed a sweet tune.
Hum a little tune like the treehouse walls.
Karen saw pictures on the wall. They showed children playing and listening to the playground.
Point to your ears to show you're ready to listen.
As the sun began to set, Karen knew it was time to go. 'Thank you,' she whispered.
Whisper 'Thank you' to the magical playground.
Back through the gate, Karen felt happy. The magic had given her a wonderful day of listening fun.
Give yourself a big hug, just like Karen felt happy.
