    IV. Nylon or wire screen

    XI. Colored paper
    XII. Pieces of colored thread, or dried flowers (optional)

    Amount of time : Preparetion 30 mins

    Activity 1 and hour hours

    Reasons for playing : Pupils will be aware of the important of papers &

    enhance their innovative thinking

    How to play :

    1. Introduce the activity by asking stdents what they think paper is made of and how it is
    made.
    2. Fill the blender halfway with warm water, then add a handful of the soaked paper.
    Blend at medium speed until you no longer see pieces of paper, and the pulp has a
    soupy consistency. You can blend in a piece of construction paper for color; or stir in
    short pieces of thread, dried flowers, or herbs for texture.
    3. Pour the mixture into the large basin and then fill the basin with warm water, mixing
    thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly dispersed. Adding a few ounces of liquid
    starch will help make the paper firm.
    4. Slide the deckle into the basin. Put some pulp onto the screen and, still holding the
    deckle underwater, gently move it back and forth to get an even layer of fibers on the
    screen.
    5. Lift the deckle out of the mixture, keeping it flat. Allow it to drip until most of the water
    has drained off. You should have a uniform layer of pulp mixture on the deckle. Press
    the pulp gently with your hand to squeeze out excess moisture (rubber gloves will
    help). Soak up any excess water from the bottom of the screen with a sponge.
    6. Place newspaper on a flat surface and turn the screen paper-side-down on the cloth.
    Lift the screen gently, leaving the paper. Gently tap the screen to help release the
    paper.
    7. Let it dry naturally for several hours or overnight. Gently peel off the paper when it is
    dry.
    8. The most creative group will get their rewards.

    Amount of Time: 15 mins

    Reason for playing : enhance the love for animals among the pupils

    How to Play: Everybody sits in a circle, and has a piece of paper and a pencil. Players fold
    their paper into four, so that the folds run widthways. On the top panel they draw an animals
    head - a bird, a lion, a crocodile, etc. Make the two lines of the neck just over onto the
    second panel. Players fold over their handiwork so that it cannot be seen, and pass to the
    person on their left. Players then draw the top part of an animals' body, and again pass on
    the piece of paper. The legs of the body and then the feet are also added in this way. Then
    pass on the completed animal to the player on the left. Players open out the 'mystery animal'
    and decide where they think it lives (has it got webbed feet? A tail suitable for helping to
    climb trees?). What it eats (has it a slender beak or a long tongue for drinking nectar? Sharp
    teeth for meat eating?). What it might get eaten by? (Try linking all the creations in an
    imaginary food web!). Give each animal a suitable name.
