Each month I like to offer my kids a bunch of activities that’ll spark their imagination and creativity. I think the stories and activities a person can come up with when offered an open-ended idea is amazing.
For this activity you will need: Balloons, something to juggle, an audio/video device, paper, and pencil, and anything else you can think of.
The two words for this month are:
Balloons & Juggle
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, game, activity, 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!
