Using the Mr. Men and Little Miss characters, let students think and discuss what their name would be.
This is good recap of vocabulary, especially adjectives.
Start off with showing them an example and how to think.
Give students 5-10 minutes to discuss among themselves and create reasons for their guess.
Gather students back together and give them the answers.
Also there is a page with the characters (just in case students cannot see the TV).

This is a really neat creative writing activity.
Thank you! I think it helps with critical thinking a little!
Just did this today with my third graders and they absolutely loved it, thank you!!
I changed it a little: I put the students in groups and gave each group the worksheet. They had 15 mins to think of a name and reasons why in English. Then one character at a time the group presented their name and reasoning.
If they got it right, they won 5 points. If nobody got the name right, then the JTE chose a favourite to win 3 points.
We got some really funny answers!
Great idea - I think I will do the same next time! Great variation! Cheers for the idea.
