1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,583
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,750
-: Hello! I am Gillian Jorgensen.

3
00:00:10,750 --> 00:00:14,250
I'm the Education Director for Book-It Repertory Theater.

4
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:16,540
-: My name is Nora and I'm in Sixth Grade.

5
00:00:16,540 --> 00:00:19,150
-: My name is Ruchi and I'm in Second Grade.

6
00:00:19,150 --> 00:00:23,140
-: In today's lesson, we'll be using a scavenger hunt

7
00:00:23,140 --> 00:00:27,420
to make a story called "Color Adventure."

8
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:30,430
For this lesson you'll need a lot of imagination,

9
00:00:30,430 --> 00:00:32,720
and a few props.

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,810
For this lesson, the props can be anything that

11
00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:36,770
you decide what it is.

12
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:39,230
Something from each color of the rainbow in your home.

13
00:00:39,230 --> 00:00:40,340
Just make sure it's yours,

14
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:42,970
or you get permission if it belongs to someone else,

15
00:00:42,970 --> 00:00:44,610
or it might make a big mess.

16
00:00:44,610 --> 00:00:45,510
You'll need:

17
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:48,840
a red object, an orange object,

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,690
a yellow object,

19
00:00:50,690 --> 00:00:52,950
a green object,

20
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:54,929
a blue object,

21
00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:59,202
-: (Ruchi) An indigo object, and a violet object,

22
00:00:59,202 --> 00:01:00,354
or a purple object.

23
00:01:00,354 --> 00:01:02,100
-: (Gillian) Oh, yeah, it could be violet or purple.

24
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,333
Something you can carry will probably work the best.

25
00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:07,150
Nora. - Yeah

26
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:10,520
-: So, for our story we need one object

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,180
from every color of the rainbow.

28
00:01:13,180 --> 00:01:14,900
Do you have some ideas about what you might look for?

29
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:15,910
-: I have a question.

30
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:17,000
-: Okay, what's your question?

31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,950
-: So you said it was a scavenger hunt, but if those

32
00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:21,440
are the materials you need

33
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,580
then you're not really finding them.

34
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:25,440
-: Well sort of. I mean, yes, you're right.

35
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,050
It's a scavenger hunt in like a mom-teacher kind of way,

36
00:01:29,050 --> 00:01:31,410
where it's an object that is already in your house,

37
00:01:31,410 --> 00:01:33,440
but you have to go look for it,

38
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,800
but you get to decide what it is on your way.

39
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,860
Something red, orange, yellow, blue,

40
00:01:39,860 --> 00:01:41,920
green, indigo, and violet.

41
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,753
Or purple.

42
00:01:42,753 --> 00:01:45,710
-: So do you like, think, "Oh, I know that I have

43
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:47,900
a green hat,

44
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,770
so I'll go find that."

45
00:01:49,770 --> 00:01:51,340
-: Yeah, yeah. That's a great way to look at it.

46
00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:53,980
What about you, Ruchi? What do you think you're gonna find?

47
00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:56,070
-: I'm not sure.

48
00:01:56,070 --> 00:01:59,280
-: No, yeah, sometimes you just gotta start walking around

49
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,930
and then something like red or green or yellow will just

50
00:02:02,930 --> 00:02:06,460
jump out and go, "Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!"

51
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:09,880
All right, we're gonna go find our seven objects.

52
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,610
All right, we went all around our house

53
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:15,450
and found seven objects.

54
00:02:15,450 --> 00:02:17,417
Even that was a story, just like,

55
00:02:17,417 --> 00:02:18,380
"Once upon a time,

56
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:21,300
we wandered around the house and found seven objects.

57
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:22,820
The end."

58
00:02:22,820 --> 00:02:23,790
But it's not the end,

59
00:02:23,790 --> 00:02:26,560
because of course there are more stories we can tell.

60
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,710
We have a red necklace, an orange candle,

61
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:34,380
a yellow little rubber chicken, a green shaky egg.

62
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:35,373
-: Blue tape.

63
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:38,880
-: Indigo scrunchy,

64
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,333
and purple octopus.

65
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:43,303
Dennis. -With a hat.

66
00:02:43,303 --> 00:02:44,136
-: With a hat.

67
00:02:44,136 --> 00:02:44,969
-: And ice cream.

68
00:02:44,969 --> 00:02:45,810
-: Okay, great. - And teeth.

69
00:02:45,810 --> 00:02:48,780
-: Okay, cool. Hey Nora, which one of these objects

70
00:02:48,780 --> 00:02:50,730
is saying, "Pick me! Pick me!"

71
00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:53,030
-: Um, I like this candle.

72
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:53,863
-: Okay, great.

73
00:02:53,863 --> 00:02:54,880
So now,

74
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,610
Nora could tell the real story of that candle.

75
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:02,040
Nora, what's, in one sentence;

76
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,970
you'll be able to use a longer story later,

77
00:03:03,970 --> 00:03:06,970
but for an example we're just doing one sentence.

78
00:03:06,970 --> 00:03:10,200
What's the one sentence true story of that candle?

79
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,010
-: This is a candle I made at Science Camp

80
00:03:12,010 --> 00:03:13,410
when I was in Second Grade.

81
00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:14,360
-: Thank you.

82
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,580
All right, but what if we tell

83
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,643
the imaginary story of that candle?

84
00:03:19,643 --> 00:03:20,527
-: Oh, oh!

85
00:03:20,527 --> 00:03:21,890
-: Ruchi, okay.

86
00:03:21,890 --> 00:03:22,723
Here we go.

87
00:03:25,340 --> 00:03:28,430
-: This candle was made by the waxy

88
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,980
fire

89
00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:32,090
from

90
00:03:32,090 --> 00:03:33,640
the mouth

91
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:36,530
of a special

92
00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:39,391
kind of fish.

93
00:03:39,391 --> 00:03:40,224
-: Oh!

94
00:03:41,570 --> 00:03:43,220
-: It's a

95
00:03:43,220 --> 00:03:46,253
literal flying fish, so, like,

96
00:03:47,230 --> 00:03:50,763
there (mumbles) the flying fish, but it's a fire breathing,

97
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,670
feathered,

98
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:55,290
winged fish.

99
00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:57,517
-: Oh my goodness. I love it. Nora.

100
00:03:57,517 --> 00:03:59,690
-: And it breathes fire, and this made that

101
00:03:59,690 --> 00:04:01,510
and somehow Nora found it.

102
00:04:01,510 --> 00:04:02,940
-: Thank you, Ruchi.

103
00:04:02,940 --> 00:04:04,930
Nora, what's another imaginary thing

104
00:04:04,930 --> 00:04:06,680
that could be true about this candle?

105
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,920
-: It could be made, it could be, like,

106
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,820
made when the Plague was actually happening.

107
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:13,653
Like it could be a real..

108
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:15,060
-: Oh, like in the Middle Ages? - Yeah.

109
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:17,260
-: Oh, so it could be like an artifact that maybe

110
00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:20,910
this is something that is real from a very long time ago.

111
00:04:20,910 --> 00:04:22,710
Thank you, orange candle.

112
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:24,610
Okay, let's see, let's see.

113
00:04:24,610 --> 00:04:26,530
Ruchi, will you pick one of these objects

114
00:04:26,530 --> 00:04:28,230
for the real story?

115
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:31,133
What one is calling to you saying, "Pick me! Pick me!"

116
00:04:31,133 --> 00:04:32,150
-: Rubber chicken!

117
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:32,983
-: Rubber chicken!

118
00:04:32,983 --> 00:04:34,290
Ruchi, do you know the real story

119
00:04:34,290 --> 00:04:35,123
of that rubber chicken?

120
00:04:35,123 --> 00:04:36,890
-: Mom likes rubber chickens, so she bought it.

121
00:04:36,890 --> 00:04:38,250
-: That is true.

122
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:39,740
I like rubber chickens,

123
00:04:39,740 --> 00:04:41,460
and so I bought it.

124
00:04:41,460 --> 00:04:44,543
What is an imagination story with this?

125
00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:48,323
-: Look right into our friends at home and let them know.

126
00:04:51,490 --> 00:04:54,720
-: It was made by a special kind of

127
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,160
water

128
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,330
that comes

129
00:04:58,330 --> 00:05:00,960
from underground

130
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,460
Christmas bells.

131
00:05:02,460 --> 00:05:04,720
-: Oh, thank you!

132
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,650
-: I just put random things together.

133
00:05:06,650 --> 00:05:10,960
-: Nora, what's an imagination story for this yellow object?

134
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,300
-: Maybe this was a real chicken that got,

135
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:16,621
it was like an experiment for a shrinking potion.

136
00:05:16,621 --> 00:05:18,710
-: And then it shrank and uh, died.

137
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:20,320
-: Thank you.

138
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,780
Oh my goodness, thank you, thank you little chicken,

139
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:24,350
thank you little chicken.

140
00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:26,430
Hmm, what's another...

141
00:05:27,570 --> 00:05:28,680
Should we do one more?

142
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,060
Ruchi, choose.

143
00:05:30,060 --> 00:05:31,490
-: I choose for you.

144
00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:32,550
-: Okay.

145
00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:35,600
This is my favorite teaching supply,

146
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,920
blue tape.

147
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,370
Real story; I bought this at the hardware store.

148
00:05:40,370 --> 00:05:44,330
Nora, imagination story about

149
00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:45,603
the blue tape.

150
00:05:46,530 --> 00:05:49,620
-: Um, it is the only possible tape that can be used

151
00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:53,500
to tie up the lethal dragon that lives

152
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:54,680
in a cave.

153
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,700
-: Dragon in a cave.

154
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:59,733
Ruchi, the imagination story of the blue tape.

155
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,610
-: It's

156
00:06:03,610 --> 00:06:05,140
not blue,

157
00:06:05,140 --> 00:06:07,780
but it's an illusion!

158
00:06:07,780 --> 00:06:10,400
It's actually

159
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,480
pink!

160
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,480
But, our eyes don't work that way,

161
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,010
so we see it blue.

162
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:20,890
-: And this writing on it is not green,

163
00:06:20,890 --> 00:06:22,060
we see it green, - Oh my goodness.

164
00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:24,600
-: but it's actually brown!

165
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,670
-: Thank you. I can tell Ruchi has so much more

166
00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:28,750
to tell about this story. Thank you.

167
00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:31,590
I'm feeling this now, and it's very sticky.

168
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:34,020
Which is giving me the story idea

169
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:39,020
of a time we walked into a cave and our feet got stuck.

170
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,090
Oh my goodness, Nora, what should we do

171
00:06:41,090 --> 00:06:43,670
next with these stories, would you like to act it out,

172
00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:45,160
draw it, or write it?

173
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,440
-: I think these stories would be good written down.

174
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,310
-: Oh, a writing down story? Okay.

175
00:06:49,310 --> 00:06:50,720
-: Maybe a graphic novel?

176
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,290
-: Oh, a graphic novel, thank you.

177
00:06:52,290 --> 00:06:54,160
Ruchi, what would you want to do?

178
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,110
Would you want to act it out, write it down, or draw it?

179
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:58,280
-: I would want to draw it

180
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,830
using blue tape as a special effect.

181
00:07:00,830 --> 00:07:03,200
-: Oh, oh, like the blue tape as an actual material

182
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,350
-: Yes. - on a paper? -Yeah.

183
00:07:04,350 --> 00:07:07,720
-: Cool. I think I would actually want to act this one out,

184
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,080
cause I wanna know how the blue tape would feel

185
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,253
on the bottom of my feet.

186
00:07:14,270 --> 00:07:15,910
What would you do?

187
00:07:15,910 --> 00:07:19,310
Find those seven color objects in your own house

188
00:07:19,310 --> 00:07:23,820
and start making up your own story.

189
00:07:23,820 --> 00:07:26,330
Everything in our home has a story.

190
00:07:26,330 --> 00:07:29,760
On their own, they might not always be interesting stories,

191
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,170
but together, if we add some details,

192
00:07:32,170 --> 00:07:35,723
we can turn an ordinary thing into something magical.

193
00:07:36,730 --> 00:07:40,190
Today's story I made with my children Nora and Ruchi.

194
00:07:40,190 --> 00:07:44,330
You can do this story with your family, your siblings,

195
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:47,750
your friends, or even all by yourself.

196
00:07:47,750 --> 00:07:50,160
Thank you for joining us today for Color Adventure.

197
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,300
Happy creating!

198
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:53,883
