Make a list here of different ways to celebrate.
You could have a party, sing songs, dance, go bungee jumping, eat an ice-cream, whistle loudly, shout “bananas”, punch the air.
Take each idea in turn and use a simile to make it more playful.
Five ways to celebrate
You can hold a party
like a rocking-horse
swaying to the beat
of the dancers’ feet.
You can sing songs
Like a hyena laughing at the moon.
You can dance
Like a hare on the first day of spring.
You can lick an ice-cream
Like a cold hot poker.
You can whistle loudly
Like the last train home
Caught in a tunnel of light.
You can punch the air
Like a fist of flowers,
At a wedding of wonder.
