• This resource is designed to be printed off on A3
paper, laminated and then placed at the appropriate
height in the classroom.
• Students (and teachers) are invited to stand
against it and write their names at the appropriate
height to find out which historical and current
celebrities share the same height.
Lesson / Activity Idea
• Each student in the class should measure
themselves against the ‘Who tall are you?’ chart.
• Each student then has to choose one of the
names corresponding to their height to research in
more detail.
• The teacher will then conduct a ‘balloon debate’
between the different characters over several
rounds to determine the most important character
chosen.
Other ideas
The “Who tall are you?” chart can be taken down at
the end of each academic year and replaced with a
fresh version. As students make their way through
the school it will be interesting to chart their growth
over the course of their time at school over several
years.
