Directions:
Talk about what happened to the Dragon Tales friends when everything went backwards in Dragon Land. Ask, "What was fun about having things go backwards? What wasn't fun?"

Give your child some story starters and work together to make up a story. You might begin, "Once upon a time, a fairy sprinkled magic dust on our house, and everything went backwards. Yolanda went to take her bath, but instead of getting clean, the bath made her dirty! When she brushed her hair, it got more messy!" Ask your child to add to the story. Continue the story by taking turns adding to it.
