Show Notes
In this high-stakes Egyptian myth, a crafty god tries reversing a solar curse by challenging the moon to a fateful, cosmic board game.
š¦Time for you to ROAR!
At the top of our episode, we heard from our persevering League of Lions member, Persistence.
*** We want to know: how did you practice persistence this week? ***
Were you learning to ride a bike, and even though you kept tipping over you got right back on again? Maybe you were practicing an instrument, and played the same song over and over until you felt it in your bones! Or you spent hours building a Lego set, refusing to give up until it all clicked together!
Tell us how you practiced persistence, and you could be featured on Lions and Legends!
Grown-ups: grab a smartphone, record a 30-second voice memo of your kiddo describing how they persisted, then email the audio to [email protected].
