Clownfish are energetic, creative, and busy fish. They often find new and clever ways of doing things, craving variety, and action. They are often drawn to express themselves through drama, words, or art. They dislike being told what to do – they would rather work things out for themselves.

Clownfish are enthusiastic problem-solvers. They are always happy to improvise, strive to be different and develop a unique style. They are great at getting things done last minute. They like moving onto new things, as they are so easily bored and distracted. They are often risk-takers who prefer original thinking rather than playing by the rules - this is when their persuasiveness is useful.

Clownfish thrive when they bring their humour, spontaneity, energy, imagination, and performance skills into the classroom. If they are enthused by a topic, they’re likely to get the whole class involved. When struggling they’ll either be rebellious or disengage and become lost in their own imagination. They get back on track with creative projects, discussions, and choice with clear stated deadlines.
