EXPLORATION MOMENT:

1. We will remember the part of the story in which Bruno's friends tried to help the little squirrel, showing their support and solidarity.

2. Then ask them: 

• What other ideas can you think of to help the little squirrel?

STRUCTURING MOMENT

1. Students will be divided into teams. Each team will be challenged to “rescue” a stuffed animal hidden throughout the classroom.

2. Letting themselves explore together how to get to the “little squirrel and other friends” that is the hidden stuffed animal and try various methods.

TIME OF EXECUTION:

1. After the teams have found the stuffed animal, gather the children in a circle. Ask simple questions to help them reflect on what they did:

• How did they feel when they found the stuffed animal?
  
• What things did you do together to find it?
  
• What was the most fun part of the game?
  

2. Ask the children to draw what the process of finding the stuffed animal was like. Children can draw their team searching for and rescuing the stuffed animal, or they can draw their favorite part of the game. This allows them to express what they experienced in a creative way.

EVALUATION MOMENT:

Once the children finish their drawings, they will share with the class what they drew in a small round of positive comments, highlighting teamwork and collaboration.
