How To Blow a Bubble By: Room 8

This story was written by room 8 today. I am posting it so the kids can try to blow a bubble using their directions. This is also written assuming that the kids have already taken a piece of bubble gum out of the package but not out of the wrapper.

First unwrap your favorite kind of bubble gum. Next put the gum in your mouth and start chewing. You want the gum to get soft. Then you flatten the gum on the roof of your mouth with your tongue. Let the flattened gum fall on your tongue. Push it towards the point of your tongue and start to put the tip of your tongue through it. Don't push so hard that you make a hole. You want to fold the gum in half over the tip of your tongue (kind of like a pocket). Then push your tongue against the roof of your mouth or the back of your teeth. You want to do this as you are opening your mouth and sticking your tongue out a little bit. You do this so that the gum won't go flying out of your mouth as you blow. Gently blow air so that is goes between your tongue and the gum. The gum should slowly expand.If you blow too fast it will pop so be careful. Don't blow a bubble so big that it gets stuck in your hair. Remember when you are done with your gum put it in a piece of paper in the trash can.
