In
Peep and Egg’s third adventure, Peep And
Egg: I’m Not Taking A Bath, Egg gets muddy playing with the pigs. Peep
tries to convince Egg to take a bath…but Egg is not taking a bath. No way, no how!
After
you read Peep And Egg: I’m Not Taking A
Bath out loud to your class, try these activities to get your students
writing.
1. Persuasive
Writing
Peep
tries to convince Egg to take a bath by suggesting different alternatives, such
as going to the river, or the duck pond, or the dog bowl.
Write
a letter to Egg. In your letter, try to convince Egg to try something new. It
could be anything! Maybe you think Egg should go on a roller coaster. Maybe you
think Egg should try your favorite video game. In your letter, give at least
three reasons to convince Egg.
2. Excuses, excuses!
Peep
gives a lot of reasons why taking a bath is not
happening—too wet, too bubbly, too slobbery!
Imagine
a family member is telling you to clean your room. Make up a list of excuses to
show why you can’t possibly clean your room.
3.
Make it fun!
Peep
finally convinces Egg to take a bath by making bath time seem like a lot of
fun.
Imagine
it is your job to take out the trash or sweep the floor, but you don’t want to
do it. How could you convince a brother, sister, cousin, or friend to do the
job instead, by making the job seem super fun? Think of a game to make taking
out the trash or sweeping the floor seem as fun as going to Disneyworld!
