| I have outlined the workshops, but remember, they can always be “custom made” to fit your program Workshop #1 “Secret Cave” Author Visit - Creative Writer’s Workshop Program Time: 1 to 2 hrs Introduction of the Book & Author, First Chapter Reading, audience is asked one of the “Stop & Think” questions, and the fun begins! Imaginations soar as young & old alike can share their own thoughts and creativity. When everyone sees how great they can be, we go into a bit of motivation and a Q & A segment. Talk can be combined with the “Creative Writer’s Workshop”, (or scheduled for a different time/day). Armed with markers & more, stories emerge from themed story starters, helping to guide each step along the way to a complete & individual story. Workshop #2 Get Lively, Thinking & Laughing! Program Time: 1 to 2 hrs Indoors or Outdoors - Great for Summer Camp Fun A “New” Hot Potato: Kids sit in a traditional circle with either a potato for indoors, or a water balloon for outdoors. Music is played, the potato is passed, but the person who is “out”, answers a question by giving a color, stripe or dot, big or little, name a bug, etc. I have a drawing of something silly (like a space alien), and a “list” to go along with the responses. By the end, we may have a pink alien, with yellow ears, green dotted nose, who is afraid of butterflies, eats broccoli, and lives in a purple tree! Everyone is given a blank picture to color and write their own story. (Also works great with “Red Light, Green Light) Dress in the Circle (More Hot Potato) Someone volunteers to get into the circle (usually a teacher). I have a variety of dress-up items. They must pick something for the one in the circle to wear. By the end, everyone is hysterical, watching the teacher with a clown nose, goofy hat, big glasses, etc. They tell a silly story about the character they have created! Everyone wants the center after that! Fees are affordable & negotiable |
