#Face Game
Years 2-3
One-off workshop
In this workshop students will write snappy short stories, creating their own unique characters during this one- off narrative workshop. Students will attain expert facial recognition skills and a new appreciation for their everyday life as they transform inanimate objects into imaginative characters bursting with personality.
Pareidolia is when your brain sees shapes or even faces in things that aren't really there. Like when you look at clouds and think you see a dragon, or when you see a face in a tree stump.
For humans, recognizing who it is, is it family, friend or foe is really important. What is that person thinking and planning and feeling?
Strengthen your student’s creative interpretation, emotional literacy as they explore character, dialogue and sense of wonder.

Meet Claude. Claude is a posh man with a curly moustache who has been keeping watch on the halls of this fancy old building for a long time. Lately Claude has been feeling tired and ready to retire from the hallway. I asked Claude why he doesn’t just quit his job.
And he said “Because I take pride in my work, and besides… someone’s gotta keep an eye on things around here. ”
Just then, I heard footsteps coming, and Claude turned his lights on bright to make sure they walked safely down the hall.
