PENGUIN KIDS FACTSHEET Class Activities (After Reading) Here are some activities to do with your class after reading Ariel and the Prince. 1. Game: On a boat Materials: a captain’s hat (optional) • The students look at the pictures on pages 5–7 of the book. Ask them to imagine what life is like on a boat. • Place a long bench down the middle of an empty classroom or gym. • The students all stand on the bench. • Put on the captain’s hat (if used) and explain that you are the captain, that the bench is the boat and that they need to follow your instructions. • Run through the instructions and the associated actions. You can use the following, or invent your own: – Swim to the beach! (jump off the bench, mime swimming to a wall of the classroom or gym) – Oh, no! It’s windy! (mime being blown back by the wind) – Oh, no! It’s a storm! (jump off the bench and lie down on the floor with arms over head) – Wash the floor! (mime mopping the deck) – Dance! (mime a sailor’s dance) – Look out! A big wave! (jump off the bench as though hit by a big wave) • Call out the instructions. Go slowly at first and then faster and faster. 2. Mythical creature pictures Materials: pictures of mythical creatures; sheets of paper; colored markers; crayons; paints • Explain to the students that Ariel is a mermaid and that mermaids are mythical creatures. She is half human and half fish. • Ask the students if they know of any other mythical creatures. • Show the students some pictures of mythical creatures downloaded from the internet. • Give the materials to the students and explain that they are going to create their own mythical creature and draw it. It could be a combination of a human and another animal, or perhaps a combination of two or more animals. • Tell the students to think of a name for their creature. • The students show their finished pictures and talk about them. What is the name of their creature? What does it look like? What body parts does it have? What color is it? What can it do? • The students could write a few sentences about their picture. • Display the pictures in the classroom. 3. Role-play: Ariel and Triton • Talk with the students about the relationship between Ariel and Triton. Is Ariel wrong to be interested in human things? Is Triton right to be angry with her? • Divide the students into pairs. The students decide who will play Ariel and who will play Triton. • The students read pages 3, 13, and 14, then create their own dialogue / role-play. • They practice their role-plays. Go round the class and help the students as required. • Ask some students to perform their role-plays in front of the class. 3 THE LITTLE MERMAID LEVEL 2 Pagina 2
