Funny face flip books

Materials: Photocopies of a face outline (1 per student), markers and crayons.
Preparation: On a piece of white paper, draw the outline of a face, divided horizontally by two lines. Make one copy for each student.
Directions: Give each student a copy of the face. Divide the class into groups of 8-10 students. Tell students that they are going to draw individual faces and together with their group, they will make a funny face flip book. On the top third of the paper, students draw and color eyes, ears and hair. On the middle secction, students draw and color the nose (a moustache is optional). On the bottom third of the paper, students draw and color the mouth (a beard is optional). Once the have completed their faces, collect the papers from each group and staple them together along the left margin. Then have one student in each group carefully cut each page of the booklet horizontally across the lines, taking care not to cut through the margin.
Students in the group take turns flipping different pages, making funny faces and describing them: He has blue eyes, red hair, big ears and a brown beard. Display the Funny Face Booklets in the classroom.
