Go outside – Creative tasks

So looking back at those remote learning days I have found two small tasks that are a little hard to explain. I remember being quite excited as I made them and thought, I was pretty clever (well I was stuck in the garage talking to myself for months).

Anyway both these little presentations have a task for students to go out into nature and think creativily. You could easily do both these as a very chill class activity. You could also use music in the slides.

Both tasks have students looking for shapes and patterns. The first is the old favourite clouds but the second has a little twist.

Once again use and share as you like.

Spark your creativity

During remote learning I made many small self contained creative tasks. I am in the process of cleaning them up and sharing them with my fellow teachers. Here are the first couple. There’s a simple rubrik included but these are probably better used as small formative activities. Once again use and change anyway you like.

One object 100 ways gets students to come up with interesting ideas on ways to use everyday items.

Organising Rules is the second one I’ve cleaned up. I remember making this as students went into isolation and were often confined to their room. Fun times…
