Film star scrapbook

Many people, children and adults collected cigarette cards showing pictures of their favourite film stars. Some kept them in boxes, children often did 'swaps' with their friends and others carefully pasted them into scrapbooks as souvenirs and reminders of their favourite stars and film moments.

Class stars?

You could take photos of class members, dressed and posing as their favourite film stars, past or present and create a class Film Star Scrapbook. Think about which kind of name would suit which kind of film star, e.g gangster, action hero, glamorous leading lady?

Make up new stars with Hollywood-style names. You could use a formula to create names - and personalities - for your stars:

• A pet's name + a precious stone e.g. Trixie Diamond
• An American place + a food, e.g. Washington Hamburger
• A colour + a piece of clothing e.g. Sox Green
