Activity 2: Short Poem – Tuana and the Maze of Hidden Eggs
A short and imaginative poem that can be part of the collage or inspire illustrations:
Tuana and the Maze of Hidden Eggs
Tuana woke to an empty nest,
Her eggs were gone — she couldn’t rest.
She raced into the maze of green,
Where twisty turns hid every scene.
She searched each corner, bush, and tree,
“I’ll find you all — just wait for me!”
Encourage students to draw Tuana’s maze, create their own endings, or turn it into a comic strip.
