As part of students' study of Anne Fine's play Flour Babies, they can adopt an egg to look after during the holidays. You will need as many hard boiled eggs as you have students in the class to do this activity. Students are talked through the adoption process before signing an official adoption certificate. Students are required to complete a 'baby book' to record their experiences. This obviously emulates what the characters have to do with a bag of flour in the play.

This booklet has been created to use for the ASDAN PSD qualification. My students (ESOL students in an FE college) have loved doing it , especially the flour baby! It is created with teenagers in mind and may need adapting for older learners.

LO: To explore the different attitudes of the boys in the book. Using what ‘Simon’ and ‘Robin’ have told you, fill in the speech bubbles showing how they feel about the flour babies. Students fill in the speech bubbles.
