Guest Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Dear all, This half term our topic is fairytales and I thought it would be a good idea to do Aladdin as all the well known fairytale are about princesses and my boys are not as engaged as I would like them to be. I am stuck on literacy activities, do you have any suggestions? lol Zouzou
Guest Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Hi Sorry if this appears twice - I was really excited and typed too quickly the first one accidently vanished. When I have done Aladdin - we have thought about Where would you go on your magic carpet? I was lucky enough to get 30 carpet samples form a carpet store so they all had their own! Recording on rug shaped paper of course! We made our own storyboxes using sandpaper & sand. Looking closely at the shapes and type sof buildings to darw these to add onto the siades of the boxes - after we made the puppets these weere really popular for re-enacting. We painted large scale characters and recorded words to describe them all around - this was great especially for the evil Jafar! You could also use the Disney Colouring site to find some pictures to add sppech / thought bubbles to add what the charcter may be saying / thinking. I know I did other stuff too but it was a couple of years ago, if anything else comes back to me - i'll post again! Hope it helps Ruby
