For the game, prepare a set of paired images of signs: one picture will be a sample, the second will be for cutting.
Tell the students that the residents of a magical city turned to them for help. They have built a new street with houses and roads, but there are no road signs yet. The magical townspeople ask you to help them make symbols. Then give the players cut pictures, which they must assemble according to the sample with a further explanation of what they got.
