Story Starters

My kids love to tell stories. Today I presented them with 2 story starters (the first few sentences of a story) and had them each tell the rest. I wrote down their stories for them and we've been reading them over and over all day. They love to hear their stories; they laugh like it's the funniest thing EVER!

You could use any story starter you want, or come up with your own. I just so happened to have come across a few on the website I referenced a few weeks back from my friend's school district, so I just used those ones. But anything will work.

Here are my kid's stories:

One day, a boy woke up early in the morning. As he got out of bed, he noticed a very strange seed lying on the floor.  It was a strange color and a strange shape...it was red and shaped like a diamond. Then he picked it up and then he planted it in a pot. Then it growed and growed and then it turned out to be a strange plant. It growed a strange kind of food. It actually growed and it growed treasures on it and rubies was the treasure! And diamonds! And gold! And the boy was SO surprised! He cut them off and he showed them to his mom and his mom said, "Holy COW!" The end.

Warren the worm lived in the dirt. He loved dirt! It was cool, just a bit wet, and quiet. But he was very curious about what was above the dirt. So one day, he decided to poke his head up above the dirt and grass. He tunneled through the dirt, straight up to the surface, and poked his head out. Just then...he heard a loud noise; it was a wookie. He goed like this: "woarrrrrrr!" But the wookie was a good guy. Then a ghost comed and put a sleep on him so he can't find Warren the worm. Then the ghost did a puzzle and waited. Warren the worm writed letters on the ghost's body and the ghost said, "that is NOT pretty!" Then the  ghost grew up to be a cow!!! Then he turned back into a ghost. Then he took those two-the worm and the wookie-away and then he locked them down in jail and they died. Then Batman comes and he was killin' the ghost and then the ghost came back to life. He killed Batman and then he singed a song, the Darth Vader song. Then Luke Skywalker comed and poofed him away and then he sang his own Luke Skywalker song. The end.

Nice, eh?
