Overview

Watch & read

Week Nineteen encourages students to embrace change with curiosity, courage, and a sense of fun. Inspired by Pluto, small, mysterious, and wonderfully unique, this week helps children learn that unexpected moments can be exciting opportunities to grow. The week begins with Change It Up, a playful twist on familiar games that teaches students to stay calm, attentive, and joyful when rules shift and surprises appear. Students then explore flexible thinking through “New Way” Drawings, reimagining everyday objects in imaginative new forms, helping them enjoy thinking differently and expressing creativity without limits.

‍

The week continues with Obstacle Switcheroo, a lively movement challenge where the obstacle course changes each round, encouraging students to adapt quickly, stay positive, and keep trying even when things feel confusing. To finish, students reflect on the bright side of change with Adapt & Appreciate, drawing moments where unexpected changes led to joy, discovery, or fun. Together, these activities teach children that adaptability is a superpower, that when plans shift, we can still smile, explore, and make the best of what comes our way. Week Nineteen reminds students that, just like Pluto, being flexible and open to the unknown helps us grow into confident, resilient, and wonderfully creative explorers.
