The teacher shows the children a flower that is shrivelled. Then he/she asks them why do they think that flower is in that condition. Print the supplementary material (click here to open), and give one illustration to each child. When they have observed the picture, ask them:
At this moment the children draw the petals and colour them. The children paint their hands with green watercolour and they stamp their handprints on a mural, as if the prints were grass. Cut the flowerpots with the flowers and glue them over the grass on the mural. The children observe the classroom and decide which place in it is the saddest. That place will be the one in which you must hang the mural, to give it happiness and colour. |
