Try this artful thinking strategy at home this summer!

🎨 All you need is an image, a video clip, a piece of music... honestly, anything that catches your child's eye or ear. Then work through these three simple steps together: 👀 Name: Look closely for 1-2 minutes, then take the image away. How many things can you remember? List them all. ✏️ Describe: For each thing you named, add a describing word. What does it look, feel, or sound like? 🎭 Act: Now give each thing a verb. What is it doing? What's its role in the whole picture? BONUS: Have your child/student demonstrate the verb through pantomime or dance! That's it. Three steps. Any image/clip. Any age. And suddenly your child isn't just looking - they're observing, analyzing, and building the kind of language and memory skills that carry them straight into the classroom. 💛 This activity comes from Project Zero at Harvard Graduate School of Education @harvardeducation - and it's one of our favorites for a reason. Save this post and try it this week! #ArtsNOW #ArtsIntegration #SummerLearning
