Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — Issue 35: Kind Friends

THE EMPTY CHAIR — the kindness issue every little learner needs!

Issue 35 of Shalvit Kids TV Magazine is a giant 135-page adventure all about friendship, welcome and kind words. A new friend stands at the edge of the game — and Kiki, Bibo and Lulu learn the exact kind moves that fill the empty chair, fill buckets with kind deeds, and make room for everyone!

INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

• Hero Story — The Empty Chair: a brand-new friend, Ada, arrives at playgroup, and three times in one day the cast practise the 4 kind moves — SEE it, SAY something kind, INVITE them in, TELL a grown-up if it keeps happening — until the empty chair is full and Ada is inviting others herself!

• Story Two — Bibo Shares the Big Crayon Box: Bibo's new crayon box becomes five counted bucket-filling deeds (expanding "Bibo Learns to Share" and "Bibo Fills a Bucket") — plus the gentle lesson for when words dip YOUR bucket: tell, breathe, find a friend — never dip back.

• Bible Story Time — Mephibosheth at the King's Table (2 Samuel 9): King David searches for someone to be kind to for his friend Jonathan's sake, and a boy who cannot walk is given a seat at the king's table — always. Pure welcome, told gently.

• Feelings Corner — Feeling Left Out — and the Brave Invite: both sides of the feeling taught warmly — what left out feels like, and the brave, kind move that makes room.

• Learning Lab: the 4 kind moves, kind words vs gentle dipping words sort, the eight feelings faces (Happy, Excited, Surprised, Sad, Angry, Scared, Proud, Calm), brave-invite words, and Kiki Asks Why? — "Why do words hurt if nobody touched me?"

• Count & Find — The Playground Scene: spot 7 kind things happening (all numbered and listed in the answer key) plus 5 hidden hearts!

• Puzzle Pages: two solver-checked mazes, spot-the-difference, patterns, shadow matching, dot-to-dot heart, and the special Kind Friend Promise page with a "Fill a Bucket Today" checklist — with a FULL answer key at the back.

• Make It — Friendship Chain: a chain of paper people holding hands (grown-ups cut the fold; children decorate every person differently — every friend is one of a kind!).

• Yummy Corner — Sharing Platter Maths: 12 fruit pieces shared fairly by 3 friends = 4 each! Cold, safe, and handwashing first, always.

• Our Nigeria — "I Am Because We Are": how Nigerian streets raise children together, with aunties and uncles who watch out for every child.

• Parent Pages: what your child learned, how to play the pages together, and the complete answer key.

Skills learned: kindness and inclusion • friendship skills • feelings vocabulary • counting and fair sharing (12 ÷ 3 = 4) • sorting and matching • Bible knowledge • fine-motor colouring, tracing and crafting.
