The things (5 years old) have to take something into school that represents a group they belong to - this could be a team, a group or their family (not that I know any 5 year olds that belong to a group or team). Anyway, they will have to take in something that represents 'family' and I can't think of anything (or I can't think of two things in this case). Anyone got any idea (I seem to be having a particularly stupid day today).
My grandson took photos of his granddads racing pigeons, some cups that they had won and gave his classmates a talk about the pigeons. They were really interested .
Another time he took a couple of my paintings.
I'm sure that someone in your family can come up with something.
Good luck!
This is sort of tongue in cheek, but I would love to see the expression on the teacher's face if your kids took in a piece of cardboard with those stupid stick figures representing a family glued to it. You know, those ridiculous things that some people stick on the back of their vans, sometimes even including a "stick" dog:)
I don't think the teachers think these things through sometimes. I shall have to have a trawl in the garage tomorrow and see what I can find (then I will just have to persuade each thing to accept the chosen items).
