places. Get class to identify each child from

When above activity has been completed each child
takes a jigsaw belonging to another child in the
class. When this is completed he/she has to
identify the child in the jigsaw ,introduce
himself/ herself to that child and ask two or
three questions eg Name, age etc. Later children
will get a number of jigsaws mixed together. They
will complete them and compare hair colour, eye
colour etc When children are capable of writing
labels can be made for each jigsaw.
