This is the same activity as Lesson 1, but with a sleepy stage before feeding the puppet.

"Are you happy?" Puppet shakes its head no.
"Are you sad?" Puppet shakes its head no.
"Are you angry?" Puppet shakes its head no.
Leave sleepy until last.
"Are you sleepy?" Puppet nods its head yes.
Students say "go to sleep".

The puppet is hungry! Do Lesson 1 puppet activity. You can sing the lesson 1 song (without the backing music) during this activity too.
