paper / cardboard / boxes / glue or stickytape / textas / scissors / Blu Tack

1. Make a background for your city – what colour is the sky? Are there any trees?

2. Use boxes to make buildings – you could cut holes for windows or draw windows with people and furniture inside.

3. Stick your background on a wall with Blu Tack and put your buildings in front of the background.

4. Keep building your paper city – what is missing? You might add another building or a park, maybe even some people.

• Conduct a tour of your paper town

• Create a performance set in your paper town.

• Add something new to your town each day – a tree, a shop, a person

• Ask your friends and family what they like about the town/city that they live in – interview someone who lives in a different town to you.

• How many people live in your house? How many people do you think live in your street? How many people live in your town/city?

• What makes you like a particular town/city?

• What did your city/town look like before your street was built?

• Who are the traditional owners of the land that you live on?
