Star of Your life Procedure •On each point of the star write something that is important for you, such as a date, name, number, likes/dislikes, etc. For example, I usually write Mustafa (my husband’s name), 31 (my age), 1+1 (I have a daughter and a son), Finland (my dream holiday) and so on. •Write these words down but don’t tell your friends why they’re there. They have to ask you questions and try to guess the meaning of what you’ve written. •Discuss what each word or phrase repsesents something important from your life. “Fido” could / might be his dog’s name.
