To solve this problem, we need to look at each picture and decide if it is a
character.
What is a character?
The instructions say characters are people, animals, or creatures. They can feel, think, and act.
Things like houses, buses, castles, or streets are
settings (places), not characters, because they cannot think or feel.
Let's look at the pictures one by one:
1.
House with a tree: This is a place. It cannot think or move. (Not a character)
2.
Mouse in a tutu: This is an animal acting like a person (dancing). Animals are characters. (
Character)
3.
Castle on a book: This is a building/place. (Not a character)
4.
Red Dog: This is an animal. Animals are characters. (
Character)
5.
Mouse with a cookie: This is an animal. Animals are characters. (
Character)
6.
Street scene: This is a place. (Not a character)
7.
Girl in a blue dress: This is a person. People are characters. (
Character)
8.
Woman in purple: This is a person. People are characters. (
Character)
9.
Two creatures with blue hair: These are creatures/people. They are characters. (
Character)
10.
Yellow School Bus: This is a vehicle/object. It cannot think or feel. (Not a character)
So, the 6 items that are characters are:
1. The dancing mouse
2. The red dog
3. The mouse with the cookie
4. The girl in the blue dress
5. The woman in purple
6. The two blue-haired creatures
Final Answer:
The characters you should drag into the boxes are:
-
The mouse wearing a ballet outfit
-
The red dog
-
The mouse holding a cookie
-
The girl in the blue dress and yellow hat
-
The woman in the purple patterned outfit
-
The two figures with wild blue hair
