Three Bears in the Hot-Seat – Role Play Activity
A role-playing activity where students play the role of a character from the fairy tale, The Three Bears.
This teaching resource is a role-playing activity where students become a character from the fairy tale The Three Bears. Students need to sit in a hot seat and answer questions directed to a specific character. Students need to use their inferring knowledge, and empathising skills to successfully answer questions that relate to their character.
Complete this as a whole class activity, or separate students into smaller groups for a more independent activity in your literacy group rotations.
Note, younger students may need more teacher support running this activity.
