Let's make up
a story together.
We can take turns telling it.
I'll start.
Hammie was
a classroom hamster.
He loved to crawl
through tunnels
and run on his wheel.
One day, Hammie was gone.
His cage was open.
He had vanished.
Oh, no.
Where could Hammie be?
Your turn, Meg.
Where is he?
Hammie was on the loose.
He smelled something tasty
in a kid's backpack:
cheese crackers.
He climbed into the backpack
to look for them.
Your turn, Luke.
What happens next?
(Luke)
Hammie was munching
on cheese and crackers
when he felt
the backpack move.
The zipper shut.
Someone was picking up
the backpack.
Now Hammie was on his way
to their house.
He sat in the bottom
of the backpack and waited.
Now it's your turn.
Hammie is a classroom hamster that finds new opportunity when his cage door is left open. Hammie does some exploring around the classroom and ultimately sneaks into a backpack looking for food. Three different children tell the story adding new parts and passing the story to another friend. When Hammie is in the backpack, the viewer is asked to tell what happens next. Part of the "Art to Heart" series.
