Ideas for Carnival "instructions"
 
Hi dear colleagues!

I �m preparing a party to celebrate Carnival in my school. Last year students had to wear different items during a week, according to some instructions given. In Spanish we call it "Consignas de Carnaval" (Carnival Instructions), eg: "On Monday you have to wear a tie, and be at school at half past nine", "If you don �t want to turn red, come to school with a beard". They were in Spanish, and this year I want them to be in English.

I was wondering if there are any rhymes I can use, I just don �t have the imagination to prepare instructions for five days! Embarrassed

Thank you in advance.

Here are some possible (possibly silly?) rhymes:

On Monday, put on some bling or at least two rings.
On Tuesday, if you don �t want to stink, wear pink.
On Wednesday, the boys must have a rose, and the girls a fake nose.
on Thursday, you must wear a scarf or a Purple Heart.
On Friday, unless you want to be fat, you should wear a silly hat.

Dear Leonidas75,

Monday:  Come to school in a sombrero:  (you can even dance bolero).

Tuesday:  Now�s your chance to be aesthetic: make your face up with cosmetic.

Wednesday:  Make a costume up for free: do an advert from TV.

Thursday:  Enter school with charm and grace: wear a moustache on your face.

Friday: You are teacher�s �blood relation�: do your best impersonation.

I hope that this gives you some ideas.
