These crackers can be made by young children as well as adults. I have made them with children as young as Year 5, no problem providing that each component is already measured and cut out for them.
Adults: you may make these for the dinner table as you can choose a nice gift for the inside instead of silly items, you can make each gift suit the person and label the cracker up as a dinner seating arrangement. The cracker snaps can easily be ordered on line and by replacing them each year, these crackers become re-cycleable.
Have fun...
All you need for a display about the Syrian Conflict; called what is humanity. Images, news articles, titles and facts... all correct as of Dec2016. I have since checked (DEC 2017) and all information is still accurate and relevant today. Although some of the figures will have risen; no one is exactly sure of the figures - most believe them to be double the reported amount.
Each slide is shown for 6 seconds while your students think of each section of a sentence. Intended for students who find it difficult to motivate themselves this PowerPoint proves that a lot gan be achieved if tackled in small amounts... 'one brick at a time'. Can also be used just as a fun lesson starter.

The second of two detailed schemes of work based on the study of Anne Frank's diary. Here, 6 lessons cover; Objectives, Starters, Introductions, Drama Development, Plenaries and homework. Indented to be taught from the scheme; no additional lesson plans are necessary. All resources are included (SCHEME 1 covers the previous 6 lessons - also available on TES).
The scheme allows for the study of sections of text from Anne Frank’s diary. Students should develop empathy for Anne’s situation at the same time building a knowledge of World War II and the horrific acts of genocide. Hopefully this scheme will address the issue of prejudice in a way which will allow all students to question their own behaviour and opinions in an attempt to minimise acts of prejudice in your classroom and your school.
Drama Learning Outcomes:
The students will concentrate on using space constraints and Spectra of Theatre (Light/Dark, Noise/Silence) in order to create dramatic atmosphere and represent the element of fear.
