| Craft ideas: |
| • |
This story features two teams: the Tornadoes and the Werewolves. Design your own football helmet/shirt and team name.
|
| • |
Copy or draw Ms. Nelson or Coach Swamp, and cut the pictures up into pieces to make a puzzle.

Make football cards for the Tornadoes (or for your class!), with pictures and stats/information on the back.

*Note: These craft ideas are just suggestions.
You can use them, but you don't have to use them.
You can expand upon them, or add your own twist.
Remember, though, that the focus of your time should
not be on the development and execution of a craft;
the focus should be on the read-aloud and the
enjoyment of the book!
