Where's the lost butterfly?

If you've been following my blog, you'll certainly recognize this house. (Or another very simmilar to this one)
Today, as my students had already learnt some vocabulary, I decided to create a story about a buterfly who was always getting lost.
I took a magnetic butterfly to class and asked the kids to close their eyes. While they did that, I would put the butterfly either in the bedroom or in the toilet or on the roof of the house.
Each time I would ask :"Where's the lost butterfly?" The students would quickly point and say: "toilet", "kitchen". Then I would help them say the whole sentence: "The lost butterfly is in the kitchen."
This activity had a magical effect on my kids specially the girls who were almost "in love" with the butterfly.
You can do the same activity using a different animal or a member of a family like a father or a mother...
