Retell the story of the video from the point of view of one of the men.
Write some instructions to teach people how to look after their teeth.
Think of some dialogue for the characters. What might they say to each other?
Pause the video at different points and think of some speech / thought bubbles for each of the men.
Can you act out this story and perform it for an audience?
Write a story that explains what happens to the men next.

Carry out some research into the topic of teeth. Why do we have teeth? Are there different types of teeth? How are human teeth different from the teeth of other creatures?

How would you describe the landscape in this area?
