I love the Grinch and sweet little Max so MUCH!  I remember crying when I was little during the cartoon because I felt bad that the Grinch was so mean to Max LOL..I am a dog lover, too :-)   And very tender hearted!   I wanted to incorporate the spirit of kindness, love and friendship that the Grinch's story inspires, so I created this super fun and engaging activity that you have to check out if you LOVE the Grinch, like I do :-)  A Great Supplement to the Book, 
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.   
This Activity is inspired by Laura Numeroff's adorable "If you Give.." books 
and becomes a wonderful Literacy and Character Education Lesson all about 
friendship, kindness and LOVE!   This pack includes a variety of different 
choices to do the activities, depending on the level your students are at in 
their writing etc.  I am so excited about this Super CUTE Grinch activity and am 
even planning to do it with my middle schoolers next week as we kick off a 
Grinch week at my campus.
Here is what is included:
- "If you give the Grinch your Friendship," Individual booklet activity where 
the students write their own ideas on each page and illustrate their words
- "If you give the Grinch your Friendship,"  Grinch Craftivity and writing 
prompt. (the Grinch is made of hearts) super sweet! Examples and directions all 
included!
- A List of Story Starters, created by Me, that you can use to have your 
younger students write and then illustrate in a 10 page booklet.(or if you just 
want to make it Easy on yourself, or you dont have as much time to let them come 
up with their own story)
- Pre- Engagement activities to get the students thinking in 
the right direction before they begin the main activitiy: "How to be a 
friend to a Grinch brainstorming, "Why do you think the Grinch is mean and acts 
like a bully?"  Why is it important to be kind and loving to others, especially 
bullies? " A "How To" writing activity of "How to be a friend to the 
Grinch."
