Ice Powers!

Julian

First, you could shoot ice out of your fingers. You could make an ice path. You could go ice-skating in the summer!

Next, you could make an enormous ice palace. You could ski from room to room. You could slide down the stairs!

Last, you could use ice to keep enemies away. You could make a giant ice wall. Enemies couldn’t get you! 

Fire Powers!

Marta

First, you could make fire come out of your fingers. You could toast a marshmallow with your hand!

Next, you could make a fireworks show in the sky. It wouldn’t even have to be the Fourth of July!

Finally, you could melt snow! Imagine that a blizzard dumped snow all over your town. You could melt it, just like that.
