NEVER EVER!

Getting stirred up and excited about language is all it takes to write. A fun exciting way to ignite your spark of creativity is to think about things that you really shouldn't ever do. So, let's start a NEVER EVER list!

I'll go first!

1. Never ever stand up fast if you've put tons of bath oil in the bathtub.
2. Never ever stick your tongue on a frozen metal post.

Your turn! Have fun. Get creative! One thought will lead to another...I promise!


Teachers: Kids absolutely love this activity. I should dig out some of the lists I have from past school visits and share them with you. They are hysterical! You can make the activity even better for your students if you join in the fun and go first!

It was Maverick Books, Jan. If you read towards the bottom you'll see that I didn't like the language that they used. Sadly, because of this, we won't be reading this series.
