Theodor Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss, created some of the most famous character in the world of children's literature, including the Grinch and the Cat in the Hat. Even years after his death, his popularity lives on. You can celebrate his birthday every March 2.
Step 1: Talk about your favorite Dr. Seuss books, including "Green Eggs and Ham," "Cat in the Hat" and "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas." Discuss your favorite lines and characters.
Step 2: Read the books. Take turns reading Dr. Seuss aloud with other Seuss fans. You are never too old to enjoy silly rhymes, and you may be surprised how fun it is.
Step 3: Enjoy other Dr. Seuss media, whether it be Moxy Fruvous or Jesse Jackson performing "Green Eggs and Ham," the Chuck Jones or Jim Carrey versions of "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas," or even "The Seussical."
Step 4: Spend the day talking in rhyme, as if you were the Seuss, Stick your thumbs in your ears to make antlers like a moose, Try to act very silly, try to act quite absurd, And if stuck for a rhyme, simply make up a word. Because Dr. Seuss made up words all the darn time, So just make up a creature, like Fremblety-Frime.
Step 5: Write down some of your rhymes so you can enjoy them later. Once you have a collection of your own rhymes, you can read them aloud every March 2.
Step 6: Have some Seuss re-enactments. Make some green eggs and ham with a little food coloring, or buy some sticker-stars to become Sneeches
