2. Next to being a teacher, Ms. Bruns is a professional ballet dancer. 
3. She enjoys fried food a lot: 'patatje oorlog' all the way! 

Now it's your turn!

Follow the leader

1. Create a big circle in the classroom
2. One student will be taken aside and wait
3. Another student will be appointed as the leader! 
4. The student who waited outside has to guess who's the leader of the pack...
