+ | * Draw your favourite character from the book (could follow along with illustrator’s tutorial video) and send to author challenge. | ||
+ | * Spot all the things in the book that begin with the letter “R”. | ||
+ | * Compare the end pages (before and after a reading), and chat about what these tell us about the story. Could ask kids to draw a beginning and end, then write what happens in the middle. | ||

And think about what would happen in that story. Or, draw all the things they can think of that start with that letter in one picture, just like the antique store spread in the book. | ||
+ | * Probably better in a small group. Split into 2 teams. Get kids to write down what they would wish for if they had a magic lamp on a piece of paper and put them into a hat. Read out the wish and kids take turns guessing whose wish it is, if they get it right, that is one point for their team (getting to know you game). | ||

Then practise some of the strategies that Archie employs, like the belly breathing. “Have children lie on the floor on their backs and place their hands on their belly. Guide students to take a deep, slow breath into their belly so it fills up like a balloon. Students should feel their tummy expand with their hands. Then tell them to slowly breathe out as though they are letting the air out of the balloon. Guide students to do five belly breaths.” | ||
