Show me that you can
Ask the students to stand in a circle. Ask them if they can do some unusual activities. Then choose a student who will stand in the middle of the circle and show you if he/she really can.
- Can you jump up high?
- Can you touch your forehead with your foot?
- Can you put your right heel on your left shoulder?
- Can you stand on your toes?
- Can you talk with your mouth closed?

Each student gets a different role (penguin, dolphin, seal, sea horse, shell, snake, turtle, frog, parrot, tulip, tree, hippo). They should write sentences about the things they can and can't do.

walk, run, jump, swim, slither, run, fly, talk, sing
Uses of an object
Divide the students into groups. They should write down as many original uses of an object as they can. For example if the object is a cup students might suggest:
You can dig with a cup.
You can use a cup for making sand castles.
The group that can produce most ideas are winners.
