Instructions

• You are going to work in pairs. 
  
• Each pair must nominate an ‘egg hunter’ and a ‘writer’ (you can swap roles half way through). 
  
• The writer must stay seated as the egg hunter goes around the room looking for the eggs. When they find an egg they must not remove it. They must remember the colour and then go back to their partner and quietly tell their partner where it is. “The purple egg with the golden stripe is under the table next to the window” 
  

The first pair to hunt down the twelve eggs and write their position in English wins.

• Write a story about one of the hidden eggs. Why did this egg hid itself at this particular place?
