- In this interactive activity, students get to choose animal, weather, and character stickers in different settings to make a scene. Many of the stickers add sounds (e.g., a chirping bird, the sound of rain) to the scene as well.
- As students add stickers to the scene, the narrator asks questions and provides facts about the sights and sounds associated with the sticker.
