Imagine that your class has to be divided into groups or houses. Each house will have its own colour, symbol/ emblem, motto, dress code, a common room with objects of their interest, and suitable furniture.
Think of sets of four names for the groups. Form groups and work out the (imaginary) details for each set. Some suggestions are Neem - Colour, yellow; Symbol, the sun; Motto, ‘Health is wealth’; Dress code, yellow waist belt; etc. Cane furniture, green and yellow curtains, and herbariums in the common room.
