Family Shapes  
Submitted byElem ALT team 

Outline: Students draw and cutout shapes according to the ALT’s directions to make family dolls.
 
Procedure:
  1. Give students blank papers.  Two pieces should be enough.
  2. ALT says a shape and students will repeat the word and draw the shape.  Keep in mind the shapes are to be cut out and put together to form a human paper doll, therefore do not choose random shapes without considering it to be part of the body part.
  3. When the students have drawn all the shapes, have them cut the shapes out and form a person.
  4. After they paste the shapes together, have them add detail to their family member with their pencils.
  5. Finally, have the students intoduce their family members with the phrase, "This is my ~ ."

 

Variations:

  • Make a whole family of paper dolls.
  • Try making other things besides people, like cartoon characters, monsters, friends, famous people, etc.
