The Recess Rescue
Read the story two times
At recess, Leo looked for his favorite red kickball. He searched near the swings and under the slide, but it was gone! Leo sat on the buddy bench with a heavy frown.
Just then, Sam jogged over with a bright smile and a shiny blue jump rope. “Do you want to turn the rope with me?” Sam asked kindly.
Leo looked up. “Really? You don't mind?” “Of course not!” Sam giggled. “Recess is always more fun when we share.” They took turns jumping until the bell rang. Leo forgot all about the lost kickball. He had made a wonderful new friend!
Word Spotlight: buddy bench — a special place on the playground where kids sit when they want someone to play with.
