After the video, ask the following discussion questions:

● Who did Widget invite to her tea party? Rig.

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

● Where was Widget having her party? In her treehouse teahouse.

● What problem did the two friends have that they needed to work out? Rig was too big to fit in the treehouse.

● What had Widget never thought about before? How different she and Rig were.

● In his song, what did Rig say that differences did for friendships? They made them stronger.

● What did Rig do so he could be at the tea party? He used a remote-controlled mini robot of himself with virtual goggles to see.

Rig said that the cool thing about Widget and his friendship is that they each could do things the other couldn’t do. God made everyone different and special with different abilities and strengths to share with one another. Friendship is sharing life with someone you like and trust!
