🗨️🗣️ Explain the every-day activity that is happening in the above comic... why is this funny? Why is it relatable?
🗨️🗣️ The Beings in Strange Planet use different words for ordinary objects. We can call them "Being Words". Can you translate these "Being Words" into English?
I'll give you a hint... the first one is "milk"
🗨️🗣️ Look at this list of words...
Car
Dog
Book
Movie
School
Video Games
Take turns and translate each one of them into your own Being Words! (checkout more inspo below) .
🗨️🗣️ Read the comic on the left. "Inclement Weather" means "a storm" so the horse's name is "Stormy". Stormy is a really common name for horses, which is why it is so funny. 😂
