Hunt Your Fairytale

Wednesday we went to Odense city on a treasure hunt. We needed to find the different sculptures and answer some questions from some of the fairytales written 

by Hans Christian Andersen. 

1. The point of the fairytale "The emperor's new suit'' is that it never turns out well pretending to be something you are not.

2. The woman carry eggs on her head.

3. The name of the fairytale is "The Shepherdess and the Sweep".

4. The name of the fairytale is "The Darning-Needle".

5. Write a rap and include the line "The flying trunk"

Course: Baby if you're down down down down down

Dooooooown, Dooooooown

You should go and see the ancient town

Verse: The town had a watermill

And kinda looked like farmville.

Always doing what they should

Like milking cows or cutting wood

Like a slaughter cows for getting food

But still they we're in great mood,

Course: So Baby if you're down down down down down

Dooooooown, dooooooown

You should go and see the ancient town

Verse: They didn’t have lot,

But they felt they had enough

They didn’t had a lot of junk

Just like the guy in “the flying trunk”.

He flew down to his girl

Through the battlefield of love

He went down to marry the princess

And for him that was enough  

Course: Baby if you’re down down down down down

Dooooooown, dooooooown

You should go and see the ancient town

6. Hans Christian Andersen wrote a very famous quote, 'to travel is to live'. In relation to Comenius the quote might mean that when you travel you change mental and physical. And in the Comenius Project you travel and learn about other lifestyles.  

If you don't get any new experience, don't see new things, don't meet new people, then you are not living, because you have the same routine every day. Thus, by traveling, you therefore see new things and start living. You get more matured, change and learn about different cultures. Therefore, in relation to Comenius, everybody is truly living.

7. Thumbelina married a tiny flower-fairy prince.

8. In the fairytale "The Brave Tin Soldier" the main character is deeply in love with a female dancer.

9. Make a paper boat and decorate it with something symbolizing the main theme in Comenius project: respect. We have chosen to draw a handshake because it symbolizes respect for one another.
