Gen: Need words for word bank

[John and Cathy Conway <conway@LISCO.NET>]

Hello-
One of the activities I have set up for our middle school for next week's
Read Across America celelbration is for the homerooom groups to write a
story with a limited number of words, as Dr. Seuss did with Cat in the Hat
and Green Eggs and Ham. The teachers are saying they would like the
students to have a word bank to work from. Has anyone done this? I'm not
sure how to draw up the list, what words to include, what "rules" to set. I
would sure appreciate any help, especiallly any lists of words to use! TIA
