Editor's Notes

  1. Instead of just writing a boring report, produce a play showing what happened.  Dress up in costumes.  Invite parents or another class.  Have a cast party.
  2. Have a food tasting party and try new dishes from all over the world!
  3. Learn how to follow a map or use GPS.  Find out about geocaching.  Create your own cache for others to find.
  4. Board game Computer game Card game Powerpoint Jeopardy
