Once upon a time, in a land not far away,
There was a museum where kids loved to play.
It was full of attractions and stories to hear,
And a billboard outside that would draw them near.

But the biggest attraction, the one that they loved,
Was a replica monument that towered above.
It was different and grand, it was something to see,
And it always caused a stir, as people walked by with glee.

The story it told was of heroes of old,
Who fought for what's right, and for truth they held bold.
Their deeds were now immortalized in stone,
And the monument stood, as a reminder to all to be known.

And so, the kids would create their own tales,
Of brave knights and dragons, and ships with great sails.
They'd explore the museum, and learn something new,
And leave with inspiration, to try something they never knew.

And as they left, they'd look back at the sight,
Of the billboard and the monument that shone so bright.
And they'd remember the cause of the heroes of old,
To stand up for what's right, and be brave and be bold.

Reflections

Here are a few questions to ask kids to think about the story:

1. What was your favorite part of "The Monument Adventure" story?
2. What did you learn from the heroes' stories in the museum?
3. How did the monument inspire the kids to create their own tales?
4. What is the message of the story? Why is it important to stand up for what is right?
5. If you could create your own monument, what would it be and why?
