Object to GO!

Hold the Rocket or image vertically and raise it slowly to simulate blasting off. Lead a discussion with the comments and questions below:

● What is this called? Rocket (rocket ship).

● Raise your hand if you have ever seen a rocket launch or blast off. Children respond.

● When a rocket launches, what can you see coming from the bottom? Fire.

Yes, a rocket launch is very exciting and noisy, too; so much power is needed to lift it off the ground and into the sky.

● How high do you think a rocket can go? To the moon, Venus, other planets, into space, miles and miles, etc.

One of the bots in the video has a rocket on his costume, so look carefully to spot who it is.

● In the next video, you will meet a new superhero. Can you guess if it is Miss Tina, Rodney, Gears, Gizmo, Rig, Widget, or possibly even Mr. Gizmo? Children guess.

Let’s watch the video to see who guessed correctly!

Leave the question unanswered until it is revealed in the video.

Today we are going to visit not one, not two, but three superheroes. I can’t wait to see who they are!

Rocket Rig

Optional discussion following the video. 

● Hold up the Object to Go! megaphone or image. Who used this? Gears.

● Raise your hand if you guessed correctly. Children respond.

● What role was he playing in the video? A (movie) director.

● What competition were Gears and Rig making a movie for? The Protonatron film competition.

● What did Gears and Rig disagree on? Which Protonatron movie is their favorite or the best.

● Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt like Rig, and it was important to share what you were feeling with someone. Children respond.

● What did Rig suggest to solve their disagreement? That they come up with their own line to say instead of a Protonatron line.

● Who apologized for freaking out? Gears apologized to Rig.

When we work together, chances are we won’t always agree on the best way to do something or who should do it! What is important is to show kindness and respect for others’ ideas and feelings even when we disagree or feel our way is best. Just like Gears and Rig, we should work together to find a solution that works for everyone.
