MJR Theaters are offering certain family friendly movies to be shown over the summer for ticket costs of $3. These are fun, air conditioned, budget friendly opportunities for fun for this summer!
After watching the movie, try these enrichment activities:
•Genre Discussion Activity: Discuss what fiction and nonfiction are. Discuss how there can be elements of nonfiction present in fiction. Identify how the story portrayed in the movie is fiction (e.g. talking animals, human behaviors, non-humans wearing clothes, etc.). Have your child draw a scene from the movie. Make a list of things that are real-like and things that are make believe in that scene.
•Story Elements Activity: Complete a “High Five” with your child using the five fingers/thumb on your hand. Identify the following as you move through your fingers: 1- characters (WHO or what does or says something in the movie); 2- setting location (WHERE does the story take place); 3- setting time (WHEN does the story tale place: present, past, future); 4- Plot (WHAT happens in the story); 5- Lesson identification (WHY did the events take place)
•Making Connections Activity: Have your child identify which character your child wishes were real so your child could meet the character. Discuss why your child would like to meet that character. Have your child draw a picture showing what they would do together and have them write about the things they would do on a special day
