Read about Judys mood ring in JUDY MOODYPREDICTS THE FUTURE. When the mystery prize

in a box of cereal is a mood ring, Judy closes

her eyes and imagines it turning purple, for

Joyful, On Top of the Worldbut maybe

the mood ring knows Judys mood better

than she does! Now you can make your own

mood ring to perfectly match your mood.

1. Pick a button that matches your mood

(refer to Judys Mood Ring Guide for each

colors significance, see lower left corner.)

2. With a pipe cleaner for younger

children, elastic for older ones, thread

the button by pushing up from thebottom of one buttonhole and back

down through another hole.

3. (optional) To make the ring fancier,

you can string beads on either side of

the button.

4. Placing the button on the front of your

finger, have a friend or adult tie the

elastic or twist the pipe cleaner to fit

the ring to your finger. Rememberto make the ring big enough so

that it can slide on and off your

finger!

5. Cut off any excess pipe cleaner or

elastic. Bend the sharp ends of the

pipe cleaner so they wont scratch.

An assortment of various

colored buttons

Pipe cleaners or elastic

Beads (optional)

Read about all the fortunetelling

tricks Judy learns in JUDY MOODY

PREDICTS THE FUTURE and try to see

your own future!

1. Write letters on small scraps of paper using crayon

or permanent marker.

2. Fill a bowl halfway with water.

3. Place the scraps face-down in the water.

4. Ask your question.

5. Wait.

6. Check to see which letters have turned face-up

your answer will be spelled out for you! R-A-R-E!(Hint: If no letters have turned right-side-up, try

gently stirring the water.) Your answer may be

mysterious. See if you can unscramble its meaning!

An alternative to Game 3 is to place the scraps of

paper in a bag or bowl and pull the letters out one

at a timeno peeking!Ask a question and place

a small seed, sequin, or

button on your forehead.

Recite the alphabet untilthe object falls off. Your

answer will begin with the

letter you were on when the

seed fell.

Spray whipped cream on a

plate. Can you recognize

any image in the shape

of the whipped cream?

Whatever you see is in

your future! (You can also

pour molasses on a plate

instead of whipped cream.)

CHARACTER EDUCATION

Discuss with students how Kate DiCamillo helps us to

understand the characters in The Tale of Despereaux. She tells ushow they look, what they say, what they do, and what others

say about them. On your chalkboard, write the six qualities of

character listed below. Then invite students to give their

thoughts about how different characters in The Tale ofDespereauxexemplify these qualities.

TRUSTWORTHINESS

Be honest:

What did Botticelli do that was the opposite of honesty?

Having the courage to do the right thing:

How did Despereaux show this is Book the Fourth?

Dont deceive, cheat, or steal:

How did Botticelli and Roscuro deceive the prisoners?

Be loyal and stand by your family:

How did the following characters betray their families?

Despereauxs father? Despereauxs brother Furlough? Miggerysfather? Miggery?

RESPECT

Treat others with respect:

How did Uncle show a lack of respect for Miggery?

Be tolerant of differences:

Was the Mouse Council tolerant or intolerant of Despereauxsdifferences?

Deal peacefully with anger, insult, and disagreements:

How did Princess Pea manage to get out of danger without

hurting anyone? How did Roscuro deal with his anger?

RESPONSIBILITY

Persevere:

What obstacles did Despereaux have to surmount in Book the

Fourth?

Think before you act. Consider the consequences:

Did the king think through his outlawing of soup? Who else inthe book acted before they thought about consequences?

FAIRNESSBe open-minded and listen to others:

Many of the problems in the book start with characters being

narrow-minded and prejudiced. What are some examples of this?

Dont blame others carelessly:

Was it fair for Roscuro to blame the princess? Was it fair for theking to banish Despereaux from the princess?

CARING

Be kind:

How do the following characters show acts of kindness in thebook? Gregory? The Cook? Miggery? Despereaux?

Be compassionate and show you care:

How did Botticelli teach Roscuro to use compassion to torture

the prisoners?

Forgive others:

Why did Despereaux forgive his father? Would you?

Help people in need:How did the following people help others in need? The

Threadmaster? Gregory? Cook? Despereaux? Miggery?

CITIZENSHIP:

Cooperate:

How did the King, Despereaux, and Roscuro cooperate at the

end of the story?

Obey laws and rules:

How can you deal with unfair laws and rules such as the Mous

Councils rules about mouse behavior and the Kings law against

soup?
