Write a "So Many Bunnies Are Playing" Book

  1. Start your book with an introduction. You could use this one if you like:

    Old Mother Rabbit lived in a shoe.
    She had plenty of children, and knew what to do.
    She'd send them out on a bright sunny day,
    Give them a kiss, and tell them to play.

  2. Brainstorm lots of bunny names, and games that they might play, things that they might play with, or places they might play that rhyme with their names. There are two ways you could do this:

    1. Start with names. Maybe the names of the kids in your class. Think of games, playthings, or locations that rhyme with these names. Use a rhyming dictionary to make it easier if you'd like.

    2. Start with games, playthings and locations. Think of as many as you can. Then think of names that rhyme with those games, playthings and locations. You can use a rhyming dictionary, but a rhyming dictionary might not have a lot of names in it. You could make up names if you like.

    Try to come up with at least one name for each letter of the alphabet.

  3. Finish your bunny book. The first two bunnies might be:

    "1 was named Ally. She played in the valley.
    2 was named Bo. He played with Play Dough."
