What creative means.
What a talent is.
Some activities that we can do to express ourselves.

Model

Ask children: What do you see in this picture? (children dressed up, costumes). What could be a reason that the children are wearing costumes? (they’re preparing for a play, dance recital). Ask children: What activity would you like to get more involved in at school? (answers will vary). Proceed to the next slide. Say: This boy is playing a pipe. He could be practicing for a performance. Why do you think it is important to practice? (answers will vary).

Apply

Play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature. After the first game, ask children to discuss what clubs they would like to their school to have. After the second game, have children say which activities they would like to try and help them learn more about the activities they are interested in.
