Last summer I stumbled across a book I hadn't seen before and the title immediately caught my eye. It is called
What if Everybody Did That? As I flipped through the pages I couldn't help but laugh at many of the comical illustrations. More importantly though, I also couldn't help noticing how this book so perfectly illustrates that actions and choices have consequences. In a very simple and fun way this book shows children the effects of their actions and why certain behaviors aren't acceptable. The oh so simple question, " What if everybody did that?" along with the clever illustrations by Colleen M. Madden drive home the point so beautifully.
If you'd like to do some extension lessons based on the book I've put together a few simple activity pages. They include:
- Cause & Effect Graphic Organizers
- Templates to make your own What if Everybody Did That? class books.
- Vocabulary Activities (choice, responsible, consequence, cause, effect, actions)
- Reflection Writing Activities
