| Mail Call Use a Mad Libs® story to review parts of a friendly letter: heading, greeting, body, closing, and signature. Then have each child write a letter to a classmate. Children can select a name from a bag to determine whom they will write to. Have children place their letters in a designated box for distribution at "mail call." |
|
| Mystery Directions Have children find and discuss examples of Mad Libs® stories that tell how to do something. Then challenge them to write their own simple "how to" stories. Encourage them to tell the topic, list materials, and describe the steps, but not to give the story a title. Have children exchange stories with a partner, read the partner's story, and title it. |
|
| Can You Picture That? Invite children to write a short descriptive paragraph. Encourage them to use words from Mad Libs® word lists to describe how the subject looks, feels, sounds, tastes, or smells. Then pair children and have partners read aloud their paragraphs to each other. Challenge each child to draw a picture of the object based on his or her partner's description. |
