Set aside paper, pencils and a place to display works in progress. Add a simple activity card so students can invent a character before any screen is involved.
Try this
A card might ask for a name, a favorite place and one possible gesture. Let learners draw, dictate or work with a partner, and check school rules before displaying names or artwork.
Take it further
Keep the activity card short enough to read independently where possible, and offer a spoken explanation as another option. Review supplies regularly so the corner remains inviting and easy to reach.
