Can you teach kids to write with humor? Humor for the Holidays?
Humor
happens when two worlds collide, and when they come together
unexpectedly. It’s funny, playful, and creative—as long as no one
gets hurt in the crash. Let’s watch humor in action...
Start
with a character or a setting. Add an
unexpected or surprising detail…
•
A look, expression, or
object: a ghost with a… goofy smile, holding a tiny holiday tree
•
A sound: a dog…barking a
Christmas carol
•
A feel: a lady with tall gelled hair that’s filled
with holiday lights
•
A mood: an
alligator…wrapped in ribbons and giggling
•
An action: Santa
flying…upside down, in his sleep
•
An exaggeration: a kid
who wants to fly with Santa, 24/7
•
A usage: Santa on
a…skateboard, a drone, or a bat
•
A behavior: Santa
planning peace on Earth…over a piece of pie
That’s funny.
I made it easy to be funny--or cheerful--for the holidays, with charming printables and plenty of writing tips. You'll get a complete kit that's perfect for TAG kids, ELL kids, and everyone in between.
If you’d like my Christmas brainstorming posters, as well as 53 Christmas characters with speech bubbles, and cool Christmas writing paper for extended writing, please look under my holiday tree and I'll show you…
