Guess the pet!

You will take it in turns to think of a pet in your mind without revealing it. Everyone else will take turns asking interrogative questions to guess the pet (e.g., "Does it have fur?" or "Is it a small pet?"). You can only respond with "Yes" or "No" until someone guesses the correct pet.

Reading Bailey and Daisy

Let's Go

There was a girl named Bailey who loved animals. She had a pet parakeet named Daisy. Daisy had beautiful colorful feathers and loved to sing all day. Bailey spent hours talking to Daisy, and Daisy would chirp back, as if they were having a conversation.

One sunny afternoon, Bailey decided to take Daisy to the park to play. As they walked through the park, they saw other pets, like dogs and cats, playing with their owners.

Bailey's friend, Maya, had a playful dog named Max. Max wagged his tail happily when he saw Daisy. Maya was training Max in the park and teaching him to "sit" and stay". Bailey went home and decided that she wanted to train Daisy!
