Sweetland: Lost in the Desert of Desserts

27 February 2012

In today's edition of the Sweetland English role playing activity, the kids are lost in the Desert of Desserts and have to figure out how to get back to Sweetland.

Each student had to share a suggestion for how they could all get out.

Here are some of their suggestions:

  • Eat each other.
  • Make jokes.
  • Make a tomb. (Spanish kids can be kind of morbid)
  • Call the Pilot.
  • Go with the Superhero. 
The kids ended up trying to convince the Superhero/Teacher to fly them to Sweetland. Each one had to hacer la pelota (plea) and convince her to take them.

Here is how THAT turned out. 

Policewoman: "I'm a policewoman and I'm in charge."
Clown: "Why? You are like the police in Valencia." (Recently, police in Valencia used unnecessary force against students who were protesting)
Child: "The king is in charge." 

Child: "I want to live in the desert."
Policewoman: "Your family will miss you." 
Teacher/Superhero: "You will go to school in the desert." 

Ultimately, the Superhero/Teacher took the Policewoman with her to Sweetland. The clown had to call the Pilot (who is his other character) to take him and the Child back to Sweetland.
