Each group should go to a specific area of the school yard (for example in the gym class, in the dining room, in the library, in chemistry lab), where they have to record what they are doing at these places and what objects there are.  The teacher asks from each group to write down the objects – items that they can see in the gym class, in the dining room, in the library, in chemistry lab. Also, they should think about the actions that they make using the above objects-items. The teacher asks students to concentrate in this job and to find as many as they can. At the same time, the teacher helps and encourages the children in the whole process.
