One of the things we like to do each month is to get creative with simple words. It is absolutely amazing what kind of stories and activities a person can come up with when offered an open-ended idea.
Supplies needed: Drawing & craft supplies
The two words for this month are:
Butterflies & Sizzle
These words can be used alone, or mixed and matched in any way to inspire stories, and then expressed in the form of a poem, diorama, dance, song, musical composition, skit, a dramatic expression, sculpture, a structure of some kind, or something else of the person’s choosing.
Tips & Suggestions
Creativity is the main goal for this activity, there aren’t any limits.
Use a thesaurus to find different ways to use the words. Use related words too.
Anything can be written, but don’t forget that pictures and actions can tell a story too.
A story can be recorded with an audio/video device.
A great way to combine multiple recording methods is to narrate an illustrated story and capture it all on an audio/video device so it can be enjoyed again later!

If you need some inspiration, consider the following ideas:
Tell a story about a day in the life of a butterfly through a dance, song, an expressed action, etc..
Describe the word sizzle through an action, a drawing, a musical composition, words (spoken or written), or dramatic expression.
Draw on a personal experience about either of these words. Something you saw, felt, touched, heard, etc..
