What am I?
Topic: Time-Fillers
(This idea was contributed by Nicola Scott)
Age Range: 5 to 11

To improve the children's ability to ask questions, learn adjectives and think logically you can do this exercise:

1. Children sit in circle.

2. Give each child a post-it note and ask them to write any noun on it (examples like cat, table, chair....). This is done in SECRET.

3. The children place the post-it note on the forehead of the person to the left/right of him her.

4. In turns child has to ask closed (yes / no) quesions about who or what they are: am i in this classroom? Do you use me to write? Can I talk? Am i alive?.... each child asks 3 questions and the game continues until they guess what they are.

It's fun and easy to prepare.
