Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am looking to do a team building activity in June to wrap up the year! I'd love for the students to have a way to take instant photos for a building wide scavenger hunt, to then create a picture collage for us to place in a time capsule.

Say cheese!

These small instant cameras would be amazing to document their adventures!

The students will break up into groups and search the building to find special people, classrooms, and other items. They will be tasked with providing photo evidence of the items on their list!

This activity will promote team cooperation, problem solving, and critical thinking - all while having fun and creating memories!

The kids have worked so hard all year. I would love for them to have a change to end the year as a team!
