Robot in Love Activities

February 3, 2020

Robot in Love by T.L. McBeth is a sweet story with a surprising ending for anyone who doesn’t pick up on the clues in the illustrations. While this story can be read any time of year, I think it would be a great book to share near Valentine’s Day. I want to share a few activities you can pair with Robot in Love.

Robot Craft and Writing

After reading the story, students will create their own robot. There are two options for the eyes and the mouth, but I have also included a template without a mouth so students can personalize the robot their own way.

Once students have created their robot, it’s time to write. I have included several writing prompts, but you can always choose your own. The robots and the writing pieces can be attached side-by-side on another piece of paper. These would make a great hallway display!

Sometimes a book comes along and I don’t think t Sometimes a book comes along and I don’t think twice before I press Add to Cart. This is one of those books and I think you’ll love it, too!💙

In this story, a family spends the day at the beach. One boy builds a sandcastle while his brothers play soccer nearby. When their ball crushes the sandcastle, it stirs up a variety of emotions. Dad sits down to help the boy acknowledge, name, and process his feelings. 

“Your feelings are yours - each one is okay.
What you’re feeling today may soon go away.
Listen to your emotions - learn how to name them.
Then you’ll know better how to explain them.”

The message that it’s perfectly normal to have a wide range of feelings is one that boys need to hear more often. Pete Oswald has paired his rhyming text beautifully with detailed illustrations that only enhance this must-read book!💙 Swipe to take a peek inside.

“Life is better with friends. They make the good “Life is better with friends. They make the good times better and the tough times easier to bear.” Unknown

What do you love to do when you’re with your friends? If you are anything like me, it’s not about WHAT you do, but WHO you spend your time with. That’s just one reason I was drawn to Nothing’s Wrong.

In this story, Anders and Jeff are headed out for a picnic. After baking the most delicious apple pie, Anders discovers it was ruined by the rain. Worried it will spoil their outing, Anders pretends that nothing’s wrong, but Jeff gets the sense that his friend isn’t being honest. 
 
Should he give his friend space? 
Should he check in with his friend?
Should he help him out?
Or should he just be there by his side?

How can Jeff be a good friend if he doesn’t know what his friend might need?

This book combines laugh-out-loud humor with a heartwarming message about true friendship. It reminds readers that even when nothing seems to go right, a good friend will be there for you at the end of the day.
