Practical idea - Using Guinness World Records to engage boys
16 Feb 2011
World records are a great hook for boys. You could get them to help you create a display of unusual and interesting records around the school. If you have not already got one, buy a Guinness Book of World Records or a ‘Top ten of everything’ book, as these are always popular with boys. Entice the boys to find out more fascinating facts and display them around school. For ideas, visit http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/default.aspx
