The activities range from the simple (painting objects in a simple room) to more complex activities such as listening the longer story about the magic room.

cOne of the most important rooms for a child is their bedroom, and focussing on the bedroom is a good way to explore the topic of houses and furniture with children.

			Paint It is a great activity for younger children, and a good way of introducing the topic with older children. The resource shows a picture of a child's bedroom but some items are not coloured in. Children read and listen to instructions, and then follow them. For example, they hear 'Paint the CD player grey'. They then have to click on the grey colour in the palette, and then click on the CD player to paint it grey. Here are some ideas of things you could do with your child after doing this activity:
			Use a dictionary to write a list of other things you might find in a bedroom, and draw pictures of each item. The page could be one page of your child's own picture dictionary.
			What's in your child's bedroom? Label the things in your child's bedroom. You could buy some blank stickers or use post-it notes. Write names on the stickers or notes and stick them around the bedroom!
			Draw a plan of your child's bedroom with your child, and write the names of the things in the room in English. If your child is able, you could even write a description of the room using sentences for example: 'There's a shelf above my desk. There are 13 books on the shelf.'
			Design an ideal bedroom with your child. Draw it and write about it.
