  • 202. BCAI: New Ways: a kids’ relaxation and story
    Ian is busy working on a project when his teacher asks him to try doing something differently. How will Ian do?
    Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “New Ways” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
    Narrator: Female

    Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:39

    New Ways Show Excerpt:
    The classroom was busy as everyone found their seats. As he sat down, Ian checked the magnet schedule on the board to see if it matched the schedule on his desk.  It did.  A worksheet was next.  Mr. Smith handed the papers out and explained what they would need, placing magnets on the board as he said each item.  “OK everyone, Please take out your scissors, glue and markers.”

     

    Ian quickly took out each item, as Mr. Smith put the magnet on the board.  When told to begin, Ian started coloring the pieces of his paper puzzle.  Then, according to the instructions, Ian began cutting each piece out.  Now, it was time to glue.  Ian did not like gluing things.

     

    It was messy and glue always got all over his fingers.  The marker ink got all over his fingers too, once the paper became soggy from the glue. He usually made 2-3 trips to the bathroom to wash his hands. Oh well, Ian thought and began to squeeze glue onto the back of one of the puzzle pieces.

     

    Once it was completely covered, he set the piece in place, and as usual, glue got all over his fingers. Ian touched his finger and thumb together then pulled them apart, feeling the stickiness of the glue.

  • 532. Snorkel Surpise: a relaxation & calming story
    Alice's dad gave her a snorkel for her birthday, and today she's going to snorkel for the very first time!
    Narrator: Female

    Story Begins: 4:12
    Snorkel Surprise Excerpt:





    It was a beautiful sunny day on Ahway Island. “Are you excited?” Alice’s mom asked. Alice had just buckled herself into her booster seat in the back seat of the car, but mom wanted to double-check that the seatbelt was fastened properly. Alice raised her arms high so her mom could double-check the belt.

     

    “Of course!” Alice cheered. “I love the beach!”

     

    Alice’s favorite place to visit was the beach. She knew there were a lot of beautiful and colorful fish that lived in the water, but she had never gotten to see them up close before.




    Today’s Meditation: Enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.

  • 201. BCAI: Extraordinary Engine: a children’s story and meditation
    As Alex the Train Engine chugs along his track he notices many ways to show love and kindness. What will he discover?
    Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Extraordinary Engine” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
    Narrator: Male

    Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:13

    Extraordinary Engine Show Excerpt:
    The switch was flipped and the little electric train whirred awake.  Alex the Engine was ready to start his journey through the house.  He was a lucky little train.  A track had been built for him up near the ceiling of each room, complete with tunnels.  He even had tunnels going from room to room so he could travel the house.

     

    Chug a chug a chug a chug choo choo! The sound echoed in the room as Alex began to move forward.

     

    He looked at the tracks ahead of him and followed the curves in the hallway.  Then up ahead Alex noticed a dark tunnel.  As he entered, he blew his whistle and it echoed.  The little engine smiled as he emerged in the kitchen. He looked down and saw the little boy give his dad a hug. The little engine smiled and thought that was charming.  Then the engine felt a little curious.  How many ways did the people in the house show each other how they cared?  It would be fun to find out.

     

    He circled the kitchen and noticed that the little boy went over to the sink and began to dry the dishes, before his dad even asked him for help. That was loving, the little engine thought, and found the tunnel leading to the garage.

     

    The tunnel to the garage was extra echo-y, so Alex tooted his whistle and enjoyed the sound. The little girl looked up as the train rolled through its tunnel and into the garage.  She smiled and then asked her mom if she needed any help.  The mom gave her a hug after she closed the car door, and handed the little girl a small bag to carry into the house.  The little girl seemed very proud to be able to help.

    Fiona loved to ride on Fran’s shoulder and nap in Fran’s tight brown curls. And she especially loved to play in Fran’s shoes!

     

    Fran had a whole room dedicated to shoes. From snow boots to sneakers to high heels, Fran wore all kinds of shoes. Sometimes, Fran would change into three different pairs a day!

    Bobby the Bus is excited. Today he gets to take the kids on a field trip. Where will they go?
    Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Field Trip!” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
    Narrator: Female

    Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:38

    Field Trip! Show Excerpt:
    Sunshine streamed through the colorful trees.  As Bobby the Bus waited patiently, he admired how the trees had changed from shades of green into red, orange, and gold.  The enchanted forest looked stunning and the school bus wished he could travel into it to see what was there.  The bus began to imagine the magical animals living in the forest.  Maybe there was a dragon.  The school bus smiled at the thought of a mysterious dragon living in the forest.  Then he decided he should review his schedule.

     

    He hoped that he would be back to the school in time to do his afternoon route.  Bobby didn’t want to let any of his regular passengers down.  Then laughter and cheering poured out of the school.  The kindergartners were coming! Bobby opened his doors and the kids slowly climbed up the great big steps with their little legs.

     

    The dragon was taking its morning walk past the school when a ruckus caught its attention.  Ears already turning towards the noise, the dragon stopped and peered out of the forest.  The kindergartners were getting on the bus.  The puzzled dragon looked up at the sky.

     

    The sun was almost directly above.  It was too late for the children to be arriving at school.  It was also too early for them to be going home.  The dragon wondered where they were going? Wherever it was, they certainly seemed excited.

  • 528. Book of Music: a calming children’s story
    Ruby June learns another way to share stories when her new friend Henry shows her a special book.
    Narrator: Female

    Story Begins: 4:04
    Book of Music Excerpt:





    Ruby June lived in a little house between the library and school on Ahway Island. Her mom, Ms. Guerdy, was a teacher in the Ahway Island primary school. She always brought books home from the library or school for Ruby June to read. Ruby June loved to read. She read as many books as she could get.

     

    Every time she finished a book, she would place it in a stack in her room. After a couple of weeks, she would have a tower of books as tall as she was! Then her mom would take the books back to the library or school and Ruby June would start a new tower.

     

    Ruby June didn’t have many friends, but she loved her mom and her books very much. While Ruby June read many books by herself, she really enjoyed it when Mom would read a new book out loud to her.

     

    Mom was very good at reading stories out loud. She used different voices for different characters and sometimes added sound effects.

    Zip the Yorkie meets Bruce the St. Benrard on a walk. The little dog is so excited, he yips and yips away. Will he notice how his new friend is feeling?

    Narrator: Male

    Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:09

    Quiet Please! Show Excerpt:
    What a lovely day!  Bruce the Dog was out for a walk with his person.  He stopped and sniffed the crisp fresh air and smiled.  The big Saint Bernard loved cool weather.  He walked along proudly on this peaceful morning.  Then he heard something.  Yap, yap, yap.  What was that sound?  It grew louder and louder. Yap, yap, yap.  He looked down when the sound arrived right next to him.  It was a little dog, a friendly Yorkshire terrier.

    Bruce smiled at the little dog politely and continued on his way, intending to enjoy the peace a bit longer.  Instead, the little Yorkie kept yapping at the big dog.

     

    “Hi I’m Zip! I love walks. Do you love walks?  Walking is probably my favorite thing to do!”

     

    When the little dog took a moment to breathe, Bruce said, “I’m Bruce. I like walks too, especially nice long, quiet walks.”

     

    The big dog hoped that Zip would understand the hint.  Instead, the little dog added, “Long walks? I guess I do too.  Sometimes I get tired and my person has to carry me, but that’s okay. I like being carried too.  What do you do when you get tired?  Your person can’t carry you, you’re too big.”

    Vinnie Scooter helps out a new friend as he delivers pizza to people on Ahway Island.
    Narrator: Male

    Story Begins: 4:54
    Pizza Delivery! Excerpt:





    Vinnie was a little electric scooter who lived on Ahway Island with Flavio, the town pizza maker. Vinnie was a shiny, bright red color, very stylish and sleek, and when he drove fast, his engine made a buzzing sound that reminded people of the sound of a buzzy bee.

     

    Vinnie loved whizzing around the roads of Ahway Island. He especially loved a ride through town, where Vinnie could see what everyone was up to on Ahway Island.

     

    When Flavio wasn’t working, he would take Vinnie on long rides. They’d start off in the center of town and end up driving along the Shore Road that hugged the southern coastline of Ahway Island!

    Trucks and Trees Show Excerpt:
    The sun slowly climbed above the enchanted forest, gently waking all the animals. The dragon smiled as sunlight warmed its belly.  It was time to get up!  The dragon had enjoyed meeting Ellie the Excavator and Danny the Dump Truck and thought maybe it would be nice to visit them again. Having decided on a morning activity, the dragon stretched and stepped outside the cave.

     

    The dragon wandered through the cool woods and admired all the colors on the trees.  The once bright green trees were now filled with warm red, cheerful orange, sunny yellow and cozy brown leaves.  It was so peaceful in the forest.  The dragon relaxed and listened to the birds singing, the brook trickling,  and then… there was a new noise in the forest!

     

    The dragon heard something rumbling.  It sounded a lot like the cars the people drove.  Curious, the dragon decided to investigate. The construction crew would have to wait for another day.   The dragon followed the sound of the rumbles.  They got louder and louder until… the dragon could see what was making the sound.  There were two trucks carefully making their way through the forest.  The dragon watched to see whether the trucks were friendly.

    Penny Pillow explores the big beautiful world beyond the bed and meets a new friend.
    Narrator: Female

    Story Begins: 3:29
    Beyond the Bed Excerpt:





    Penny Pillow lived on the softest little bed in the world. Its clean white sheets and the other soft pillow friends who lived with Penny made the bed a cozy home. Penny loved her little bed. The bed was small but it was her special bed. She’d been there for as long as she could remember.

     

    Penny Pillow was a little light blue pillow with white flowers. Her fresh stuffing made her as soft as can be! Her friend Paul Pillow was a big wrinkly grey pillow with older stuffing, but he was still soft enough to squeeze. He liked to sit at the head of the bed.

     

    Penny’s other friend, Patty Pillow, was a medium-sized white pillow who usually nestled in the corner of the bed.

     

    Paul would chuckle as Penny bounced around him. He would say: “Penny, my friend, you’re stuffed full of fun!”
