On a magic carpet
A character from a book
An animal

Get Creative

Pretend you are a mime
Mimes cannot talk or make noises. They act out what they are thinking or saying by using their hands, body and facial expressions.
Pretend you are a grown up at work
What do your parents do at work all day? What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you think it would be like?
Pretend you are blind
Close your eyes or blindfold yourself and walk around. Make sure that you do this in a safe place (for example, away from stoves, stairs, and breakable objects). To help keep you safe, you can have a friend be your guide or help you by giving you directions. Take turns being blind.
Pretend you are the opposite sex
Are you a girl? Pretend you are a boy. What do they talk like? Walk like? Act like?
Are you a boy? Pretend you are a girl. What do they talk like? Walk like? Act like?
Spend a million dollars ($1,000,000)
Get a piece of paper and a calculator. Look through catalogues and flyers to help you make a list of things you want to ‘buy’. See if you can spend a million dollars. Hmmm…I wonder how much a golf cart and a swimming pool would cost?
Create an invisible friend
What is their favourite food? What do they like to do? What is their name? Do they only show up when you are bored or when there is ice-cream?
