Hello,

I'm the friendly fluffy white cloud.

Can you see the word that's written upon my white fluffy belly?

It says Helpful.

That's because at nighttime the stars come out and all of my other friendly fluffy cloud friends come out too.

So they can float in the sky with me and we can all be helpful together.

Some of my friendly fluffy cloud friends have the same word written upon their belly as I do.

Helpful.

But others have other words too.

Words like relax,

Peaceful and kind.

And today you are going to get to pretend to be the biggest giant.

You are going to be part of a great big experience.

You are going to pretend to be a giant.

This giant is the biggest giant that's ever been.

And I know this because when normal people are next to this huge giant,

They are the same size as the giant's fingernail.

This giant is therefore the biggest giant ever.

And this giant is really really heavy because it's so big.

So after this pretending practice we're going to finish off and then you can tell your mum,

Your dad or your friend about this experience that you had.

So imagine that we have a big magic wand.

This big magic wand flies into the air and comes up and hovers in front of you.

This big magic wand is called Nelly.

Nelly the magic wand.

Nelly makes things happen.

Nelly is your special friend.

So are you ready?

First off,

Are you resting in a position where you can listen and do some pretending with your imagination?

Okay,

Good.

You might like to close your eyes.

We are going to count to three and then Nelly the magic wand will wave in the air and this magic will help us be able to pretend.

Are you ready?

One,

Two,

Three.

Three.

Okay,

Great.

Nelly the magic wand is waving over you.

Now,

Let's pretend that the magic slowly,

Very slowly starts to work.

But before we explore what this magic will do,

Take a look around you to remember what is actually here in the room that you're in right now.

What do you notice?

What things are in front of you?

What color are they?

Can you see where the light is in some places?

And then can you see where there's shadow in other places?

Okay,

Now let's pretend the magic from Nelly's waving of the wand has worked and you have become a huge giant.

The biggest giant ever.

Remember,

Your fingernails are the same size as a person.

Right,

So first off we need to wait.

You need to stay where you are because you are the biggest giant that's ever been.

You've grown by a thousand times and you need to stay still because there are lots of tiny,

Tiny people all around you.

These people are so small,

They are as big as your fingernail,

Remember?

So,

As you rest in this moment,

Try not to move.

See if you can do this.

I'm going to be quiet for a bit to help you to focus as you imagine all the little tiny people that you don't want to squash,

So you've got to remain really,

Really still.

Just for a few seconds,

Are you ready?

And you might like to imagine that some of these people,

The people that are as big as your fingernails,

Are sitting in your hand.

And you need to be very careful because you like these people and you don't want to hurt them.

They're so small.

Thank you for listening to this and I'll see you again in another adventure.

Goodbye.
