Smelly ghosts.
Hi there!!
Yesterday, I said goodbye to my 7 years old kids....at least, till September. We decided to do something special for our last class together, and I found this simple, original and hilarious craft. It really did the trick.
It's easy, but slightly messy and, of course, potentially controversial. We have to keep your kids controlled every single moment of the process, but it's so funny and rewarding that it's worth the struggle.
I made my students sat (on their chairs, of course) in a row. They took off a shoe and a sock. Then, I painted the sole of their feet and they pressed it onto a piece of card placed on the floor in front of them. And....taa-daaa!!! There was a ghost on the card!!
Then, they decorated the card whichever way they wanted...but not before I could clean their feet properly, of course!!
I have to say they behaved really well and we had a lot of fun, even if it was really tiresome. But I'm looking forward to do it again!!
Enjoy!!

Not so fierce as they seem.
Hi there!!
For the last class with my 9 years old kids I chose this funny and simple craft. We had a lot of fun!! You just need some card, plastic plates, google eyes and whatever you want to decorate (stickers, sequins...).
And... lo and behold!! here's the cutest shark family ever. They even made a baby shark!!
Try it at home, it's great.

Hey there!!
Today I tried Dvolver moviemaker again (with a different group). This is what they did. It's really funny to see the different things they are interested on depending on their age!!
Enjoy!!

Little John's adventures.
Hey there!!
I've just discovered another amazing teaching tool named Story Jumper. It's like a story maker, but there are lots of different things you can do with it, even maps!! There's no limit to the activities you and your kids can perform and enjoy with this new software.
I've tried a first approach to it writing a little story for (and about) my little nephew. It was really funny, although I must confess I have to improve my story maker skills a lot. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Have fun!!

Incy wincy spider climbed the wall again...
Hi there!!
This is the latest (and cutest) craft made by my little kids. As we are studying bugs, we decided to make a lovely and funny spider...just with their hands.
It's really easy: we painted the kids' hands black (just the palm and four fingers, not the thumb) and then they pressed their hands on a white card (first to the right and then to the left). And voilà!! After that, we added googly eyes and they decorated their cards with some little spiders. Parents loved it.
Enjoy!!
Under the sea...
Hi there!!
As I said before, these last weeks before summer are perfect for revision. After all the struggles kids have undergone through the year, it's a great moment to relax, have fun and try to settle all the knew knowledge in their troubled little minds.
My 7 years old have been working about animals lately: forest animals and sea animals. After the cute hedgehogs, it is time to visit some sea animals, to try and remember their difficult names and their parts of the body. That's what we did with the whale and the jellyfish.
The whale is quite easy. You just need to help kids trace the outline of the body and fins (we used gomaeva for that). Then, they can cut the body themselves, as well as paint the cardboard glass we'll used for the head. Once this is done, the rest is very simple. They just have to put it all together, glue a pair of eyes and stick some pipe cleaners through a hole on top of the whale's head (that would be the water they expell through their head holes). And this is it!!

The jellyfish is even easier. Just paint a card plate (any colour would do), glue a pair of eyes and stick some pieces of ribbon under the plate once it's dry. And you get a cute and really convincing jellyfish.
Enjoy!!!
A 3D human body.
Hi there!!
These last days of term are really tricky. Exams are over, kids have more or less finished all units, it's hot, they are nervous and sometimes we don't really know what to do. I have decided to devote these last weeks to do some revision...but in a funny, relaxing and easy way. I just want them to get some profit of these last days before summer holidays!!
My 11 years old groups have been studying the human body lately. So, we decided to make a human body model and use all our new knowledge to get it as real as possible. We even had some real models to trace the outline (it was probably one of the funniest parts). Then, we made the main bones and organs and even a brave attempt of a circulatory system. It was real fun, and we took the chance to remember al we knew about the skeleton and all the organs.

Little little....friends?
Hi there!!!
My 3 years old kiddies are studying bugs. It's funny, but they are delighted with this new topic. Nevertheless, the vocabulary is slightly difficult for them to learn and remember, so last day I decided to help them a little bit with these two videos. We had a great time.
Enjoy!!

A spiky little friend.
Hey there!!
School year is ending, it's hot and kids are nervous and edgy!! Sometimes it's difficult to keep them focused or to control them, so it's the right moment to try some simple and funny crafts. This way, you can revise a lot of vocabulary and help them channel all that energy that's threatening with exploding in the classroom!
As we've been talking about forest animals recently, yesterday we decided to create cute little hedgehogs (a word they found particularly difficult to remember and pronounce....but not anymore!!). It's quite easy and you don't need many things. You just need: some styrofoam balls (not too small, and it's better if they are egg-shaped, but I couldn't find them anywhere), paint and brushes, google eyes and toothpicks (sometimes you can find plastic coloured toothpicks in some Chinese shops, but as I didn't have enough of these for everybody, we mixed them with the traditional ones).
So, first of all you cut the styrofoam balls in two. Then, we paint them.
Once ready, we paint a little nose, and we stick the google eyes and the toothpicks. As I have used mainly plain toothpicks, I've painted them (just for fun, the hedgehog looks lovelier that way).
And this is it. Simple, fast and funny. We had a great time yesterday!!
Enjoy!!
