Read Slam! A Tale of Consequences, a story about a boy who slams the door and causes a red ball to go bouncing through the neighborhood with unexpected effects. The illustrations are very detailed and provide many opportunities to notice and talk about why each of the things in the story happened. The children are introduced to a new word, “consequences.” Give the children a red sticker to represent the ball and have them draw something else to add to the story. This can be done in small group.
