On a Magical Do-Nothing Day by Beatrice Alemanga (E ALE) All I want to do on a rainy day like today is stay inside and play my game. The game drives Mum mad, and she takes it away. I take it back and dash outside--but splash! Disaster strikes. Without my game, nothing is fun. Well, let's see. Maybe I'm wrong about that... Discussion Prompts: ●​ What does boredom feel like? Can you remember something good coming out of feeling bored? ●​ Is the main character a boy or a girl? What makes you say that? Does everyone agree? Does it matter whether you know or not? ●​ Choose a picture and imagine stepping into it. What can you see, hear, smell, feel, and taste? ●​ How important is it to notice the world around you?

●​ Can you care for the environment if you don’t connect with it? ●​ What do video games give you? What do they take away? ●​ Should adults limit your screen time? Why or why not?
