You have a very important job to do during your tall tale adventure travels!  You will listen for any exaggerations during your adventures and record them on a page to share with your group. 

 

Remember an exaggeration is something that could not really happen.  It is often the truth that has been s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d beyond belief.

 

Exaggeration examples:

It is so hot, I could fry an egg on my head!

He is so tall, his head scrapes the clouds.

I am so hungry I could eat an elephant! 

 

Are you ready for your adventures??  Almost!  First you need to click on the Exaggeration Recording Sheet below and print 4 copies (one for each tall tale adventure you will go on.)
