The teacher shows the fabric to the class saying &quot;What could this piece of fabric be? We&#8217;re going to pass it around the circle and each of you will show us something it could become.&quot; The teacher models, turning the fabric into something (for examples see the list below) and children have to guess what it is.<\/p>\n<p>The fabric is passed from one person to another or the child who guesses the correct answer acts with the fabric next. If an idea is repeated, such as &#8216;hat&#8217;, the teacher asks the child to be more specific, (e.g. a turban or bonnet), thereby making the child to come up with their own idea.<\/p>\n<p>If the pace of the game is moving slowly, organise the children into half or smaller groups. A variation of the game is to limit the ideas to a category such as clothing, or things that are the colour of the fabric.<\/p>\n<h3>Possible Ideas:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Superman cape<\/li>\n<li>Nappy<\/li>\n<li>Flag<\/li>\n<li>Wig<\/li>\n<li>Magic carpet<\/li>\n<li>Picnic blanket<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Reference:<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creativedrama.com\/theatre.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.creativedrama.com\/theatre.htm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This game can be played with children 5+ and the only resource needed is a large piece of fabric.
