EXPRESS YOUR

FEELINGS

• Teacher assigns an emotion to each colour brick for the
day.
• Children must remember these associations - e.g. red
= anger; yellow = happiness; blue = sadness; orange =
fear; green = confusion etc.
• Teacher holds up any one brick and the children
have to show that expression or feeling in their body
language.

CREEPY

CATERPILLAR

• Children work in large groups (6 - 8) to build a
long caterpillar.
• Think about the way a caterpillar moves - can
you create that movement in the way you build
your model?

Q: Can you describe your caterpillar and tell
the other groups something about your
build?
Q: Can you demonstrate how your caterpillar
moves?
Q: Where does it live? What does it eat?
Q: How well did you communicate in your
group in order to build a model together?
Q: Did everybody in the group have a say in
the building of the caterpillar?

Variations:
• Build a caterpillar using only 2 or 3 colours.
• Build a patterned caterpillar.
• Transform your caterpillar into a butterfly.
