SHARON’S BLOG

CouponsI recently cleaned out my purse and found seven expired coupons, most of them for clothing and craft stores. Now that you know how disorganized I am . . .

These coupons gave me an idea for a prompt you can do with your children.

Why do I suggest that you write with your children? When they see you writing, they learn that it’s a legitimate activity in which they can have success. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to read the results to each other. You might be surprised at what you learn about your kids.

Get ready to go virtual shopping with your children!

Now it’s your turn: If you could receive a 50-percent-off coupon from any store, whether brick and mortar or online, what store would you like your coupon from? What would you buy with your coupon?

Pretend money is no problem. Write for 10 or 15 minutes to explain.

When everyone is finished writing their ideas, read the results to each other and be amazed. Have fun spending your imaginary coupon!

Yours for a more vibrant writing experience,

Sharon Watson     .
