Monthly Creativity Club Prompt &
Quick Fire Challenge: April 2024

  • What if you started laughing. . . and you couldn’t stop!? What do you think would cause such a thing, and how would you stop laughing? Illustrate this process and show us what you would do.
  • April is National Poetry Month and this year’s theme is WEATHER. Think about the way weather affects your life, or how it inspires you. Write us a poem on this theme and share it with us. 
  • What if you could experience spring using only one of your senses? What would spring be like if you could only hear it? Smell it? See it? Touch it? Or taste it?
