March Forth–Do Something
Posted by lindamartinandersen on February 29, 2016
A Writer’s Playground–a place to find wordplay, writing
prompts, reasons to celebrate, and monthly calendar activities for kids and those
young at heart. “March 4th–Do Something” by Linda Martin Andersen
![March-4th-is-March[2]](https://lindamartinandersen.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/march-4th-is-march2.jpg?w=650&h=740)
Writing Prompts:
- What is your favorite fable and why? Read a copy of the fable and then tell it to someone. Rewrite it in your own words.
- What famous doctor has a birthday on March 2? Tell about celebrations you have participated in to remember this famous name in literature.
- Have you ever played in a bucket drum band? What thing makes a great musical sound that isn’t an instrument in the band?
- Name a way to march forth and celebrate this month. What will you do?
- Name a favorite topic. Look for poems on that topic. Swap poems with friends for Poetry Day: 21.

Dear Linda,
I’m marching fourth with great vigor into the spring time and more daylight hours. I’m rejoicing because I can move and go back and forth as I like.
Celebrate you
Never Give Up
Joan

Linda, love the pun “March Forth” and the banner you created is wonderful. I like the 21st of sharing a poem. I always enjoy your monthly playground activities. 🙂

Tracy, I am glad you liked the pun. I can’t take credit for it, but I liked it too. Sharing a poem is a great way to celebrate March. I’m so glad you enjoy playing here!

Wow, great suggestions. I know when the kids were younger their schools took part in World Book Day. But I am not sure how much they do in high school. Everything seems different in high school 🙂

I would have to agree that high school is a whole different world. A World Book Day sounds like a great day to ceolebrate. I appreciate you visiting and commenting, Bee. You are a busy blogger. That makes you, Busy Blogger, Bee. Like the alliteration?

When I was a teacher assistant in a pre-school class we actually made green eggs and ham. The children got such a kick out of it 🙂 I did too!

Kathy,
What a great way to celebrate Dr. Seuss Day and maybe St. Patrick’s Day too. Making green eggs and ham must have been hilarious fun. Terrific memory for children and adults alike. Thanks for sharing this.
