1st & 2nd Grade - The Lion Who Wouldn´t Try
In the Lion Who Wouldn’t Try we see a story of a lion who is too afraid of failure to attempt anything. All the other animals are having fun, while the lion is moping around. He is too afraid of losing that he never ends up having any fun

When you have finished reading the book, think about the following:
Why shouldn’t we be afraid of losing?
What happens if we don’t try new things?
What the benefits of trying new things, and why can’t we get good at stuff unless we practice? Remember, nearly everyone isn’t good the first time.

Exercise from A Whistling Good Idea – Building a Rube Goldberg Machine of Your Own
Try your hand at building your own Rube Goldberg machine to drop a teaspoon. Here’s how.
You will need:
1 thin book rolled up as a cylinder, 2 smooth long sticks for a slope, 2 thick books, 2 rulers, 1 marker, 1 eraser, 1 ball,
3 notebooks, 1 light plastic jar, a bundle of string, 1 teaspoon, 1 vessel, 1 smooth beam
Slide the cylinder down a slope.
The cylinder hits two books, placed standing up. They fall on a ruler, which is balanced on a marker. This, in turn, tips a ball.
The ball hits three notebooks.
They land on the edge of the second ruler, balanced on an eraser.
A jar, placed on the other end of the ruler, is attached to a piece of string.
The string is looped around a smooth beam above.
The free end of the string is tied to a spoon.
The jar rises when the third notebook falls on the ruler.
The string falls down, dropping the spoon into the vessel.
