Decided to take a break from the full-on super hero / Sci-fi movie watching we've been doing lately, and try this activity I saw somewhere, probably Pinterest...The girls had a great time brain-storming nice (yeah, and not-so-nice - they're sisters!) descriptions for one another. I think they were all pretty chuffed to read back their posters after we'd finished writing each one, sometimes we all need a little reminder about how awesome we are, especially from those who know us best.
The Word Party
Loving words clutch crimson roses,
Rude words sniff and pick their noses,
Sly words come dressed as foxes,
Short words stand on cardboard boxes,
Common words tell jokes and gabble,
Complicated words play Scrabble,
Swear words stamp around and shout,
Hard words stare eachother out,
Foreign words look lost and shrug,
Careless words trip on the rug,
Long words slouch with stooping shoulders,
Code words carry secret folders,
Silly words flick rubber bands,
Hyphenated words hold hands,
Strong words show off, bending metal,
Sweet words call each other 'petal',
Small words yawn and suck their thumbs,
Till at last the morning comes,
Kind words give out farewell posies....
Snap! The dictionary closes.
