The document summarizes how a teacher used a PowerPoint presentation over several weeks to guide classroom activities and discussions about the characters from the Mr. Men book series. Each week focused on one or two characters and their attributes, with activities exploring colors, shapes, measures, senses, sounds, movement, and friendships. Examples given include a week on Mr. Happy and what makes us happy, and another on Mr. Messy and Mr. Tickle exploring senses like touch. Websites for further Mr. Men fun are also provided.

1. When starting a new topic in class we begin with a simple PowerPoint.
We view it together in circle time at the white board, and in it we identify our targets.
We link to songs / stories / websites we all ready know and use.
We introduce a key song or story to use as a regular starting point.
We add to the PowerPoint as the topic progresses.
It provides a useful plenary to recap our work.
“The Mr Men” proved to be a great topic that interested the pupils and enabled us to
have lots of fun with sensory and movement activities.
We explored colours, shapes and measures,
looked at feelings and shared our favourite things.
This PowerPoint includes a few examples of our activities.
