Describe your classroom to a person who has not been in it before or to your parents. Make a holiday map showing who went away and where they went. Make a school calendar listing important events and describing them briefly. Choose a well known song and have children make up new words to it. Have a pupil describe another person in the class without mentioning their name.
Pupils guess who it is.
Extend this to well known personalities e.g. T.V. Sports . . . Cut out shapes in black paper so there is just an outline with a hole in the middle. Cover this hole with cellophane. Make these shapes into a cellophane mobile. Choose themes such as animals, bird, trees Hang by a window for best effect.
