For the older child, create a classroom of some sort like in a living room or bedroom with chairs and a small table. Place your teddy bears in the manner that the students are placed. If you have a large heap of teddy bears that is, for example, piled in bulk, then this could well be an entire class!
This involves imagining that you are a teacher and then teaching a basic lesson that any teacher would give to his/her class. You can educate them on how to count, read or even how to sing a song.

You can tell them to help you with erasing shapes or matching shapes as a way of showing that you need assistance, and you will lead them through it. That is why this game is so good not only as a funny activity but also as a learning tool for young children.
