Anything Fabric

Anything Fabric

How to Play: Participants stand in a circle. The teacher shows the fabric to the students, saying "What could this piece of fabric be? We are going to pass it around the circle and each of you will show us something that it could become."

The teacher demonstrates, turning the fabric into something (for suggestions, see list below) and then says what it is .

The fabric is passed from child to child , with each student sharing an idea.

If an idea is repeated, such as "a hat", the teacher asks the student to be more specific (a turban, a bonnet), thereby making the participant come up with their own idea. If the number of participants is small enough, the fabric can travel around the circle twice or even more. We played it the participants of the MIG phase II teachers in the evening after class and the fabric traveled round the circle three times.

A variation on this game is to limit the ideas to a category such as clothing, or things that are the color of the fabric.
