Crazy creature creation
Some creature collective nouns really are curious, as you’ll see when you read Collective Memories…
Now you can create your own creature and make up its collective noun. The more crazy and curious the better!
Choose a head, body and tail combo from the 12 pictures here.
Use the combo as a guide to draw your creature.
Colour in your crazy creature.
Name your creature and give it a curious collective noun!
If you’d rather use different creature body parts, that’s fine too. Draw your own head, body and tail or doodle your crazy creature from scratch. Then name it and make up your curious collective noun!
Write your own rhyme
Choose from this list of animals and their collective nouns, or find a different one, and then write you own silly collective memory. Then when you’ve finished, draw a matching daft doodle!
Gang of buffalo
Quiver of cobras
Murder of crows
Cast of falcons
Skulk of foxes
Gaggle of geese
Family of otters
Dray of squirrels
Bale of turtles
Zeal of zebras
A few tips:
The rhyme should have four lines.
Halfway through lines 1 and 3 there should be a word that rhymes with the last word in the same line.
The rhyming words in line 1 and 3 should all rhyme with each other.
The last words in line 2 and 4 should rhyme with each other.
The rhyme should be as nutty and daft as possible!
For more tips, flick through your copy of Collective Memories. Haven’t got it yet? What the flange of baboons are you waiting for?!
