Ask
students
if
they
know
about
the
Mr
Men.
Roger
Hargreaves
created
the
first
character
Mr
Tickle
in
1971.
Since
then,
the
list
of
Mr
Men
and
Little
Miss
characters
has
grown.
They
have
also
become
quite
international.
See
Wikipedia
for
more:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Men
Tell
students
that
you
have
a
game
for
them.
Show
them
the
12
book
covers
(Slides
1
to
12
in
the
PDF
slideshow)
and
ask
them
to
guess
the
names
of
the
Mr
Men
which
are
covered
up.
Students
should
write
down
their
answers.
You
can
put
students
into
pairs
or
groups
for
this.
Note:
point
out
that
all
Mr
Man
names
consist
of
2-syllable
adjectives
that
end
in
y.
Use
the
images
on
Slide
14
to
Slide
37
to
go
over
the
answers
and
find
out
who
the
winners
are.
Write
all
the
Mr
Mens
names
of
scrap
pieces
of
paper.
Distribute
them
among
students
randomly.
Ask
students
to
write
a
short
Day
in
the
life
composition
about
their
Mr
Man.
Notes:
The
composition
should
be
in
the
present
tense.
(He
gets
up
very
late.
He
doesnt
go
to
work.
He
sits
on
the
sofa
all
day
watching
daytime
TV.
After
lunch
he
has
a
three-hour
siesta,
etc.)
Students
must
not
use
their
Mr
Mans
adjective
in
the
composition.
They
should
always
refer
to
him
as
he.
Ask
students
to
read
out
their
compositions.
Other
students
should
listen
and
write
down
which
Mr
Man
they
think
is
being
described.
Follow
ups
Use
the
images
for
an
observation
game:
name
a
Mr
Man
and
ask
students
to
describe,
from
memory,
what
he
looks
like.
This
is
good
for
describing
shape,
appearance,
facial
expressions,
physical
features,
colour,
clothes,
etc.
Give
students
a
list
of
2-syllable
adjectives
that
end
in
y.
Ask
students
to
create
their
own
Mr
Men.
They
should
design
book
covers
and
write
a
short
story
(see
page
5
for
some
examples).
