Halloweeeeeennn Was Here!!!
We dropped THREE Halloween episodes this season – 1 from the writing ghosts at Velma Teague Library, 1 from the writing ghosts at Independence High, , & 1 from the ghosts of Halloween past…SO much spooky listening fun! Halloween and wordplay go together like bolts and Frankenstein…..Spooooooooky!
Here’s a little Halloween wordplay treat…or is it a trick?! Bawhahaha! I dare you to figure out what these nonsense words mean….Splooook!
Food Play inspired by Gunnar Madsen – Kid Art
Kids, inspired by Gunnar Madsen’s song “I Am Your Food,” selected foods they wanted to be then they drew pictures and made them talk. Enjoy their art and the full episode.
wordplay – Puns
wordplay – Onomatopoeia
Sing along with the Onomatopoeia Man as he comes to town, bringing all sorts of sounds! Singing and listening fun for the classroom and library, but be prepared, after this song, for a bit of burping, all day long! Excuse me!
