I borrowed this book from the library and it has some excellent ideas on teaching children to create stories. I’ve been doing some of the exercises with my kids because I want them to use their creativity and imagination. Also, it will definitely help them in the future when they have to write essays and composition.

Let me share with you one fun exercise we did. It’s called “Fortunately-Unfortunately”. You and your children take turns to make up a story. First you start by describing a situation such as Mary wants to watch the latest Alvin and the Chipmunk movie. The next person than continues the story beginning with the word “fortunately”. So, referring back to the example, you could say “Fortunately she doesn’t have to go to school tomorrow because it is the weekend’. The next person then must add to the story with “unfortunately”. So the story could continue with “Unfortunately she doesn’t have enough money to buy the tickets.” The story keeps going on as you and your children add sentences that use “fortunately” and “unfortunately” alternately.

This was really fun to do. You may need to guide the kids in the beginning. But once they get the idea, they can be really crazy. You could even play this game in the car. It’s a great way to have fun, work the brain and develop language skills all at the same time.

What is commonly included on most people’s New Year’s resolution list? I would say losing weight, dieting, getting more fit and exercising. Basically, anything that will lead to a healthier lifestyle. Do you have one of these on your New Year’s resolution list?

BooksCloseouts is having a Health and Fitness sale. Selected titles on this topic has been slashed down to a mere 99cents. Here are some books that caught my eye:

• 6 Minute Morning: Flat Stomach. After 4 kids, I definitely could use some help in this area.
• Banish Your Belly, Butt and Thighs Forever. I’m sure this appeals to almost all women. We are the worst critics when it comes to our own belly, butt and thighs.
• The Cellulite Solution: A Doctor’s Program for Losing Lumps, Bumps, Dimples, and Stretch Marks. I have stretch marks I want to lose.
• Conquering Your Migraine. I really, really hate migraines.
• Coping With Diabetes.Yeah, it’s important to get this condition under control.
• Energy for Everything. Boy, don’t I need that these days.

Well, if you’re into diets, beauty and health, go check this current book sale. I don’t know how long this sale will last. So, act fast before it ends.
