Think about your favorite rainy day game or activity.

Use the Super3 to share it with other kids by following these directions:

1. Write a title for the activity.
(Example: Let’s Go Fishing!)

2. Write a short introduction that will make other kids want to do it.
(Example: Hey, Kids! Do you like to fish? Here is a way to make a fishing game by using items you may find around your house and the Super3 to help!)

3. Use the Super3 to organize the instructions so any other kid can do the activity.

Plan

In one or two sentences tell what kids will do. This is like the main idea of the game.

(Example: Make and learn to play a fishing game.)

In one or two sentences tell what they need to find out about in order the make and do the activity.

(Example: You need to find out what materials I need and how to make the game pieces. You need to learn the rules of the game.)

Do

List materials that kids will need to gather. Materials that are found around the house work best.

Write a detailed list of instructions for making the game or doing the activity.

Review

Now instruct the kids to play the game or do the activity. Ask them questions to make sure that they have done it right. Give them some ways to change or make the activity different the next time they do it.

(Example: After you play the game, think about what you liked and did not like about it. Did you follow the rules? How can you change the game to make it more interesting to you if you play again? Now, clean up the game pieces and put them away for another rainy day!)

4. Now, have a parent or teacher read your rainy day activity and edit for spelling, grammar and safety. They need to try the activity to make sure you did not leave out any steps.

5. Have your parent or teacher email the activity to the Big6 Kids Editor, Barbara Jansen at bjansen@tenet.edu

6. If your activity is chosen for publication on Big6 kids, we will only use your first name and last initial and your city. If you wish for us to publish your school name, please have your parent or teacher give us permission in the email.

Good luck and have fun writing your rainy day activity!
