Wacky Wednesday 01-13-2016 : Green Eggs & Ham Rhyming Puzzle

Green Eggs & Ham Rhyming Puzzle

WACKY WEDNESDAY GRAPHIC

' Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory' - Dr. Seuss

Welcome to Wacky Wednesday, a weekly Dr. Seuss inspired activity to spark creativity, fun & learning! Lets make a memory!I would like to start Wacky Wednesday off in a classic that is familiar to all, ' Green Eggs & Ham.' This activity will be oodles more fun if you read this with your littles before we start the activity. If you don't have it on hand, there are plenty of Youtube Videos! After much debate, I decided on a rhyming puzzle inspired by, you guessed it, Green Eggs & Ham! I started by picking out all the rhyming words from the book (rain/train, goat/boat, etc.). I got some printer paper & drew the rhyming words as cartoons (but you can print these from a quick google image search and trace them). I made 'puzzle' edges that were all different, then outlined everything in sharpie. This is where it gets fun! I let the boys color my little cartoons, then I cut them out!
