Hi Jasuh,

I got a few ideas for some activities you could try:

1) Ask the girl to bring something from home that she could share with the class (like news).

2) Provide some books for the children of Pakistan - people, houses, building, children etc...

3) Share Aussie celebrations and traditions in class - australia day, anzac day, talk about Australian animals, foods we eat etc..

4) Have an Australian theme cooking class for a week - prepare typical australian foods

5) Find and prepare simple pakistani food for the class.

6) Ask the girl to teach the class a song and dance from Pakistan.

also one for a boy from civil war country who wont speak, hes shy

1) Help him to interact with others.

2) Engage and include him in play situations and activities.

3) Play small group games.

4) Set up opportunities where activities require more than 1 person.

Hope This Helps!

Cheers ,
