Guest Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 This year's theme is apparently 'being different' (or something like that!), so I thought I would start off with Elmer. I have found activities on here and through Google, such as making own Elmers using 'fill' tool of Paint, and obviously painting/collage Elmers. I then wanted to link it back to the children, to get them to think about how they are different to each other (and that that is a good thing) - apart from circle time, I'm a bit stuck for ideas! Can anyone help?! Thanks in advance, purplemagic x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I love "Elmer" and often use to illustrate how we are different, why we need a name, how knowing our sounds can help us etc etc. Once you get going I sure the ideas will follow. You could paint self portraits too and work from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thanks Susan, Will go with my original ideas and use the name idea - especially as I have a couple of children with the same name but they are obviously still individuals. Hopefully children's responses to what we do will provide the next steps after that ...! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
