SIO, Ep 15
“Imagination”
[INTRO]
Hi! My name is Cat Petru, and you’re listening to Sound It Out: A Kids Podcast About Words.
[TODAY’S WORD]
Today’s word is “imagination.”
What do you think imagination means? What images or feelings arise when you hear the word imagination?
[DISCUSSION]
Can you picture yourself flying? Fluffy clouds drift past you like soft mountain peaks. The sun is warm on your face. You feel something on your back and realize you have wings! Your muscles bend and flex as you flap your wings, soaring after birds migrating in the sky.
Could you feel it? That’s using your imagination!
[EXPERIENCE & MEANING]
Actor and teacher, LeVar Burton, wrote A Kids Book About Imagination! He says imagination is asking the question, “What if?”
What if you could talk to animals?
What if homework was optional?
What if racism didn’t exist?
What if everyone you cared about felt safe and loved?
LeVar says, “Imagination is the power to dream up the world the way you’d like it to be. Thinking up not just what is, but what could be.”
What sort of future can you imagine?
