WOODEN BOWL
Game. Twelve pupils stand in a row in front of the class. The teacher whispers to each the name of one of the months. The game is for the class to arrange these pupils in the order of the months of the year. Of course January will be placed at the beginning of the row. December will be placed at the end. Each pupil in the row makes a riddle about the month he is. The class must guess who is January, who is February, and so on to December.
Those who guess the riddles may be the months in the second game.
Group Exercise. Pupils who make very good riddles may write them on the board. Then the class will try to make them still better.
