One day, we went to the city to help our friend, Señor Fabuloso, find his creativity. We asked Luna for help, and she knew just the place to go!
Luna showed us a fantastic building called the Casa Mila. It was designed by a famous architect named Antoni Gaudí. An architect is someone who designs buildings, and Gaudí was known for making some of the coolest ones ever!
Gaudí loved nature, so he made his buildings look wavy and curvy. He also used bright colors and beautiful mosaics to decorate them.
A mosaic is a picture or design made from lots of tiny colorful tiles. They are really pretty and fun to look at!
Señor Fabuloso was still feeling a bit down, but Luna reminded him that creativity is everywhere. It’s in the water, the air, and even inside us! We just need to find the right inspiration.
Everyone is born to create, and we can use our imagination to make new and exciting things!
Next, we went to see the castellers. Castellers are people who make human towers by standing on each other’s shoulders. It’s amazing to watch!
Ramona, our friend, is a casteller too. She wears special clothes and climbs to the top of the tower. The smallest person on the team gets to go to the top and shout a phrase that means “let’s do this together” or “teamwork.”
The base of the tower is called the “pina,” and it’s made up of many people. A strong base is important to keep the tower steady and tall.
Everyone works together to make sure the tower is firm and ready to reach the sky. It’s all about teamwork and dedication!
In the end, we learned that creativity and teamwork can help us achieve amazing things. Whether it’s building a tower or creating something new, we can always find inspiration around us!
Create Your Own Mosaic: Gather some colorful paper, scissors, and glue. Cut the paper into small squares or shapes, just like tiles. Use these pieces to create your own mosaic picture on a piece of cardboard or paper. Think about what inspires you and try to make a picture that shows your creativity. Once finished, share your mosaic with your family or friends and explain what it represents.
Nature Walk Inspiration: Take a walk outside with a family member or friend and look for things in nature that have interesting shapes or colors, just like Gaudí did. Bring a small notebook and draw or write about what you see. How do these natural elements inspire you? Can you think of a building or a piece of art that you could create using these shapes and colors?
Teamwork Tower Challenge: With a group of friends or family members, try to build a tower using blocks or other stackable items. Work together to make the tower as tall as possible without it falling over. Discuss what strategies helped keep the tower stable. How did teamwork play a role in building your tower? What did you learn about working together?
Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

We came into the city to find something to spark Fabuloso’s creativity. Luna, can you help us?
Well, if you’re looking for creativity, you’ve come to the right place! That building over there is the Casa Mila.
Oh yes, the Casa Mila! That is why it is so impressive. What a lovely sight! This beautiful building is designed by my favorite architect, Antoni Gaudí.
An architect is a person who designs buildings, and Antoni Gaudí designed some of the coolest buildings ever, including the Casa Mila. Gaudí was inspired by the beauty of nature; he made his buildings wavy or curvy and decorated them with bright colors and beautiful mosaics.
Luna, what’s a mosaic?
A mosaic is a picture or design made up of lots of tiny colorful tiles.
Wow, mosaics are beautiful! Oh, you sure seem happier, Señor Fabuloso. Does this mean you found your creativity again and your ability to decorate the stage and your desire to come and play with us?
Well, I definitely don’t have that, but my creativity… no, I don’t have that.
Don’t give up, Señor Fabuloso! Your creativity will never leave you; you just need a little more inspiration. And I think the key to your inspiration is right here!
There’s a key in my head… oh, there it is! How did that get in there?
Do you want to know something great? Everyone is born to create; it’s as natural as can be—a part of you and me. Creativity’s everywhere—in the water and in the air.
The moment is a song about spring. Create your imagination; be as creative as you choose. Be creative in what you do, always making something new.
So, Ramona, are you excited to see the castellers making human towers?
I’m a casteller! Check out these cool casteller clothes. What? You’re going to be part of that tower of people? Yeah, I go to the top!
That’s right! The smallest person of the team tops off the tower and then yells out a phrase that means something like “let’s do this together” or “teamwork.”
Also, we are here! Ramona, there you are! Is the smallest member of the other team going to go to the top just like me? That’s right, and our tower is going to be taller than ever today!
No, ours will not if you can’t climb without your music to tell you when to climb. No problem, I brought a car! I’ll be looking down at you from the sky, Ramona.
Bye! Carmen is right; Ramona won’t climb until she hears the music. So, Ramona’s really counting on you. Yes, as a musician, you’re just as important to the team as any of the climbers or the people at the base of the tower.
That is where the “pina” comes from. In this case, “pina” refers to the base of the tower that’s made up of many people.
A towering tower, the tallest around, needs a foundation firm on the ground. Tall as a steeple, stacked up so high—a tower of people touching the skies!
All hands will get it just right. See the foundation firm and steady; it took dedication. Is everyone ready? Start at the bottom!
Deep in my heart, hear it repeating—we’re ready to start!
