Are you still singing the same old hand washing song? Are you tired of it, yet? Write some new words to fit with your favorite melody. Maybe it’s the tune you are tired of. If you are musical, compose a new one, and write down your composition; if you can’t do that, choose a new tune and amend the words as required. Teach the song to the others you share a bathroom with. (Rinse, and repeat this process whenever you need a change.)

Daily Creativity #14: Poetry Charades
This is an activity to complete with one other person who you can see. So, that means a sibling, a parent, or other person in your home; or a friend or other family member over Zoom, FaceTime, WhatsApp, etc: Both of you should take a few minutes to select a poem from this list but do NOT share it with your partner. Silently (no speaking or writing down words!) act out your poem for your partner, one line at a time. You may supplement your acting with drawings, if you wish. Your partner will write down a line of poetry for each line you enact. Trade places. Take a few minutes to polish and revise your poems, then have your partner share the original poem as you share what you wrote.
Daily Creativity #13: Focus on the Letter W
It’s Wednesday! Today, we are going to be guided by a letter of the alphabet: W! Really focus on the W in the What, Where, and Who of your Work. Create a drama that takes place on a Wednesday, in a place (or places) beginning with W, in which all the characters have names beginning with W, and which turns on something to do with a W. When you’re done, and you’ve earned some downtime, you can relax by Watching the very silly movie It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) on YouTube or Google Play – and then as a bonus activity, you can write a review of that for Stone Soup!
