Activity may take 30-45 minutes.

How can we make languages we speak visible? What objects might represent languages we speak?

Pupils are asked to creatively visualise repertoire of languages they speak through drawings, paintings, collage or other creative methods. They are asked to identify languages and dialects they speak or know. They are asked to imagine these languages and dialects as for example animals.

Then they are asked to associate them with a particular concrete or abstract objects, animals, plants, etc.

How would they look like? What characteristics they have? 

When they are done with drawing/ creating these zoos/ botanical gardens of languages, the discussion starts. Pictures can serve as an exhibition and pupils may present and describe their images. They can explain particular parts.

Then children can share,  what they have learnt during the activity)
