Read Armadillo Tattletale by Helen Ketteman

Retell w/ movement: egret, turtle, blue jay--my business is enough business to keep me busy!

butterfly, muskrat, snake--my business is enough business to keep me busy!

heron, alligator, toad-my business is enough business to keep me busy!

Discuss Telling vs. Tattling

Is there danger?

Is it helpful or hurtful?

Is it YOUR business?

Is it a problem YOU need to solve?

Use the Wise Old Owl questions to guide "telling"--

Who is might be hurt?

Who is afraid?

Who does it help?

Who do you tell?

Good Egg / Bad Egg

2 egg baskets with a smiley over one (telling) and frownie over the other (tattling). Have children crack open the eggs and place in appropriate basket.
