Conclusion

Through their fun and creative adventure, Elmo and Paula Patton show us what innovation is all about. From the Word-o-Pad to the Dancing ElmoBot, they teach us how new ideas can change the way we learn and communicate. As we think of our own new ideas, let’s remember the joy and excitement of discovering new ways to express ourselves and share what we know.

  • What is something new or different you have created or thought of recently? How did it make you feel to come up with that idea?
  • Can you think of a time when you used an old idea and made it better or more fun? What did you do, and how did it change the way you did things?
  • Elmo used technology to make learning fun with his inventions. What are some fun ways you like to learn new things? Do you have any ideas for making learning even more exciting?
  1. Create Your Own Invention: Think about something you use every day, like a pencil or a lunchbox. How could you make it better or more fun? Draw a picture of your new invention and give it a name. Share your idea with a friend or family member and explain how it works. This activity helps you understand how innovation starts with simple ideas and creativity.

  2. Innovation Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find items that are examples of innovation. Look for things that make life easier or more fun, like a remote control or a board game. Make a list of the items you find and discuss with a partner how each one is an example of innovation. This will help you see how innovation is all around us.

  3. Imagine a New Word-o-Bot Feature: Elmo’s Word-o-Bot is already fun, but what if it could do something else? Imagine a new feature for the Word-o-Bot, like telling jokes or teaching a new language. Draw or write about your idea and how it would make learning even more exciting. This encourages you to think about how adding new features can improve existing inventions.
