It's imagination time with Katie. Hi friends.
Welcome to Super Simple's Imagination Time with Katie.
This episode is inspired by the Super Simple song, Say Cheese.
We'll be exploring what it's like to get our picture taken, and how photos can make wonderful memories to cherish for years to come.
Picture that! Here we go. It's good to be with you, my friend.
I'm glad we're together again We've got sack on the keys Katie sing it, la la la la la.
We'll have some fun in our imagination. Go on adventures again and again.
Good to be with you, my friend. Hello, hello.
This is Imagination Time. I'm Katie and Zach is here too.
Hello, hello. Today, we're going to imagine getting our picture taken.
Have you gotten your picture taken before?
Maybe a grownup has asked you to smile for the camera to take a photo.
Or maybe you've taken some photos of your own.
Photos are a wonderful way to share a picture with someone else.
Or to keep a picture of something so you can always remember it.
Sometimes I like to imagine pictures in my mind.
We do that a lot on imagination time, don't we? if we're going to make pictures in our minds for our photo taking imagination adventure today. we should relax our bodies and take some deep breaths before we begin.
That will help us see the pictures in our minds more clearly.
Are you ready, Zach? Ready, Katie. Are you ready, friends?
Here we go. In one, two, three, hold it Out three, two, one Let's picture something in our minds that is relaxing.
Something that will make us feel calm. all the way from the top of our heads down to the tip of our toes. when I want to feel that nice feeling of calm.
I like to imagine a blue sky and a big green field.
I can picture the wind blowing through the tall green grass, moving across the field like a wave.
Sometimes the picture is so clear that I can imagine I can feel the sun shining down on me as I stretch out under the blue sky.
It's a beautiful picture. Can you see it in your mind?
Let's take one more deep breath and we'll relax all the muscles in our body.
In one, two, three, hold it. Out, three, two.
Now, we're ready to imagine all sorts of pictures.
Let's take a picture, you and me Look at the camera 1, 2, 3 Let's take a picture, you and me Look at the camera!
Say cheese! Sometimes, when a photo is taken, the person taking the photo might say, say cheese.
When you say cheese, your mouth turns into a smile all by itself.
Let's try it. Say cheese! Cheese! When I made the E sound, I could feel my big smile showing. we can use that big smile when we get our photo taken on our imagination adventure at the Photography Studio.
That's a special place where a photographer can take your photo.
Sometimes, there are fun things that can be in the photo with you. like costumes and toys. sometimes there are different backgrounds.
So it looks like you're taking photos in different places.
Let's imagine a photography studio in our minds.
I imagine I see big lights that shine bright.
And I imagine I see a friendly photographer pressing a button on a camera.
And I can hear the camera making a clicking sound.
I imagine I see a big comfy chair on a colorful background placed in front of the camera.
That must be where we sit when we get our photo taken.
Let's give it a try. Okay. We'll sit right here on the chair, in front of the camera, and get ready for our photo.
I imagine the photographer is adjusting the camera, making sure everything looks right.
Now I imagine the photographer is moving the light, so the photo is bright enough.
And the whole time, we have to try and sit still so that we'll be ready when it's time to take the photo.
Is it time to say cheese yet? Getting ready to take a photo and trying to make it look right sometimes feels like a long time.
When will it be done? Waiting, waiting We're patient as we're waiting Waiting, waiting, sometimes we have to wait.
I don't want to wait anymore. It's hard sitting still.
I don't think I can sit still any more. I have a big feeling inside of me.
That feels like I need to run around! I was really excited to get my photo taken and to make a special memory.
Now I feel so frustrated When I'm feeling big feelings I stop and see how the big feeling is feeling I know.
I can always picture that big green field with the blue sky in my mind whenever I need to feel that relaxed feeling.
I'll try that while taking a deep breath.
In one, two, three, hold it. out three two one that feels a bit better I know what might help, Katie.
Let's use our imaginations to pass the time.
Thanks, Zach. That's a good idea. Let's look around the room in our minds.
There must be something that will spark our imaginations.
Look around Look around and see what can be found Ho, I imagine.
There are lots of interesting photos on the wall.
It is a photography studio after all. I imagine I see some that are big, and some that are small.
Some are in black and white, and some are very colorful.
Every photo is filled with different people in different places.
What photographs do you imagine you see?
I imagine I see a photo with a cowboy in it.
I can imagine that too. I imagine it's a photo from a long time ago, with mountains in the background, and a cowboy sitting up on a big horse.
The sun is shining down and the cowboy is spinning a long rope over its head.
Can you see it in your mind? It looks like fun!
Wouldn't it be amazing if we could travel into the photograph and be just like that cowboy in the picture?
But of course, we can. We can do anything in our imaginations.
We can be anything when we're imagining Anything we want to be, imagine with me Well, howdy.
Now I'm a cowboy in the photo, sitting on my trusty horse.
I can feel the sun from the photograph shining down on me.
Good thing I got my big cowboy hat to protect myself from the sun.
Let's imagine twirling the long rope over our heads.
Yee-haw! It's just like we're in the photograph.
I'm a cowboy I'm a little cowboy Let's imagine taking a picture just like the one we saw on the wall.
Let's do our best cowboy pose. Here we go.
Let's take a picture, you and me. Look at the camera, one, two, three.
Yeah! If we take good care of it, a photo can last a long time and remind us of times long ago.
It's a wonderful way to look back into time and see how things used to be.
Like a time when people got around on horses instead of cars.
Let's see what's going on in these other photographs on the wall.
Oh! I imagine I see a really funny photo.
It's a colorful photo of a party. And there's a group of friends making funny faces at the camera.
And laughing! Let's pretend to go to the party.
Yeah! Let's use our imaginations and imagine what it would be like to be inside that fun photo.
I imagine I hear music playing and people laughing.
Everyone's having lots of fun. I can see all the colorful decorations around the room.
I imagine it's a birthday party. A birthday party is a wonderful time to take photos.
It's something special we'll always remember when we look at the pictures from that day.
Let's pretend to take a picture with our party friends.
And we can make our own silly faces. Ready?
Let's take a picture, you and me. Look at the camera, one, two, three.
Silly face! That photo will be a fun memory for sure.
It's nice to take photos of special moments so we can look back and remember the good times and the people we shared them with.
Let's see what other kinds of photos we can find on the wall.
I imagine I see a bunch of photos of different families.
A photography studio is a nice place for families to come to get their photo taken altogether.
Most of the time, someone in the family has to take the photo instead of being in it.
But at a photography studio, a professional photographer takes the photo.
And then everyone gets to be in the photo.
That's pretty special. Let's imagine taking a photo with someone special in our family.
I'm going to imagine taking a photo with my mom.
That's so nice. I'm going to imagine taking a photo with my grandma and grandpa.
I'll sit right in the middle and give them a big hug for the photo.
Who are you taking a photo with in your imagination? picture it in your mind.
Let's take a picture, you and me Look at the camera 1, 2, 3 Hug I imagine those are pictures that will always keep.
They also might make really nice gifts too.
There's so many different kinds of photos.
They can remind us of people and places and special moments we had. and they can teach us about the past.
Photographs are pretty special. I guess it is worth waiting for, even if it sometimes feels like it takes a long time.
Katie, I think the photographer is ready now.
Oh, I was having so much fun imagining us in all those pictures.
I almost forgot we were waiting. Okay. Are you ready to have our picture taken?
Here we go. Let's take a picture you and me Look at the camera 1, 2, 3 Let's take a picture you and me at the camera.
Say cheese! Cheese! will be a beautiful photograph.
Thank you, photographer. And thank you, friends.
I'll always cherish these pictures we made in our imaginations today.
We've made some wonderful memories. and will have the imaginary photos.
So we'll always remember. It's time now to say goodbye.
But we'll see you again soon for more memories using our imaginations.
