Shadow Dancing/Riddles

“Want to know what I have here? An orange fresco, a fish, and a truck.” - Saul, 3.6 years

Let’s invent a story then. 
What if we said, ‘A long time ago there was a dragon.’ What would his name be? 
“Dragon!” - Giacomo
So, a long time ago there was a dragon named, ‘Dragon’, and he found a rocket ship. 
[pause]
And on that rocket ship, there was a red car. Where would they go on their rocket ship with the red car? 
“On the rocket ship you move the car away so there is more space to walk.” - Saul 
“The would move the car away to make more space to walk.” - Saul

Where are they going? 
“They jump out to swim in the pool.” - Saul 
They’re swimming? Can you make your shadow swim? 
“No! Actually, rockets aren’t used for swimming.” - Giacomo
We can pretend.
“No, they only go to the moon. They blast off and go to the moon.  That’s what they’re for.” - Giacomo

Oh, can we blast off? Saul, can your car blast off? 
“I can blast off this shadow, but it might be small.” - Saul 
Yours might be small? How can we make our shadow small? 
“Elyse. Go closer to the wall. Did you see it got smaller? Now go back. Did you see it now got bigger?” - Giacomo

“I wanna show you my shadow dancing.” - Saul

Shadow Riddles

“A bird!!!”- Giacomo
“You could be a small bird, a big bird, or a medium size bird.” - Saul 
“You could be a baby bird.” - Giacomo
Can you see my wings? ‘Tweet, tweet.’ - Elyse


What animal is Giacomo going to be? 
[Giacomo stomps]
“What makes that big bang that’s the king of the dinosaurs? The biggest dinosaur that ever roamed the earth? [Roars] It stands up on two legs, teensy arms, big legs, and a long tail.” - Giacomo
“It may be a monster.” - Saul 
“It’s a dinosaur. [roars]” - Giacomo
So that Saul and I can remember your clues were, ‘It stomps, has teeny arms’. - Elyse
Saul, what kind of dinosaur do you thin she’s being?  - Elyse
“It has enormous tracks.  It’s tall.  Its teeth are strong to bite through bone.” - Giacomo 
Saul, do you know what kind of dinosaur this is? What’s your guess? - Elyse
“He lived with the rhinosaurus.” - Giacomo 
“It lays eggs, but it grows up to be the biggest creditor to roam the earth.” - Giacomo
Could it be a T-Rex, Saul? - Elyse
“Yesss!!” - Giacomo
