Angry Birds

So I heard some kids in this class were fighting earlier, and just happened I would relieve this class.

What should I do? Ah! Story telling! Angry Birds! Kids love Angry Birds.

After some classroom housekeeping, I told them I would tell a story, and then they started to sit tight and listened...

So here's the story: 'the pigs steal the eggs, the birds are really angry.'


I took out my Angry Bird print out...And asked a few kids to draw other birds with my colorful set of Pilot markers on the whiteboard. I'm bad at drawing.

Then continued my story.

'The angry bird calls his friends, all very angry, and then attack the pigs to avenge!'

'The red bird goes first, BOOM! bricks broken, score 2000 points!'
'Next up is the black one. BOOMM louder! a pig died! 5000 points!'

'And in the end all pigs died. And what happen to the birds?' 'They all died too!'

'The moral of the story...don't be angry, don't fight physically! In the end both lost...'

And the kids were actually really fascinated by my story telling, all their innocent eyes staring at me listening faithfully.

So and then I asked, what you gain from destroying the pigs?
One cheeky kid answered: Got money! (referring to the points scored)
Me said: So what can you do with all the money if you ended up dying?
...

Ha kids...

And so I hope no more angry kids in the school.
