To make it harder you could have a time limit (15 seconds) or have a competition with a sibling or parent who can name 5 things the quickest. Here are some examples below but you could come up with ideas too! :) ]]> 2020-04-27 12:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/helen277/pvs0x28zg1rigzjn1590587625/wish/533333922 helen277 https://padlet.com/helen277/pvs0x28zg1rigzjn1590587625/wish/533333926 With a sibling, friend, parent/guardian, aunt or uncle, decide which sentence you would rather and give a reason for your answer. ]]> 2020-04-27 12:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/helen277/pvs0x28zg1rigzjn1590587625/wish/533333926 helen277 https://padlet.com/helen277/pvs0x28zg1rigzjn1590587625/wish/533333928 Call (with the permission of a parent/guardian) a friend or family member and check in on them.

For example try brainstorming some of these words and see how many different words you can come up with:
Verbs: Say(said), run/walk, put, looked, ate, liked
Adjectives: Small, big, nice, fast, slow, bad, good.
These are just some examples, maybe you've come across words in your stories that you'd like to brainstorm. 
Here's an example of the start of a verb and an adjective brainstorm. ]]> 2020-04-27 12:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/helen277/pvs0x28zg1rigzjn1590587625/wish/533333937 helen277 https://padlet.com/helen277/pvs0x28zg1rigzjn1590587625/wish/533333939 Dogs Trust Ireland are running a short story competition.
