Mixed Level Class - create a museum, design a city, write a newspaper, or plan a bank heist!

Have a mixed level group and need to keep them occupied for a morning with fun and engaging activities? Here are four:

Create a unique museum that reflects interests, knowledge, and creativity. This museum can be about anything students are passionate about — art, history, science, technology, pop culture, music, sports, etc. Their task is to design the museum’s layout, curate the exhibits, and develop an engaging experience for visitors.

Design a City for the Future that could exist 50 years from now. This city should be innovative, sustainable, and practical. Consider aspects such as architectural style, energy production, transportation, and overall livability.

Write a Newspaper that reflects chosen theme or focus area. This newspaper can be about any topic they are passionate about—current events, school news, a specific hobby, entertainment, sports, technology, or any other area of interest. Their task is to write articles, design the layout, and create a cohesive publication that informs and engages readers.

Plan a Bank Heist - Using creativity and problem-solving skills, students plan a detailed and fictional bank heist. This task is designed to encourage strategic thinking, teamwork, and the ability to create a compelling narrative. Remember, this is a purely imaginative exercise meant for fun and learning.

If there is time, students present what they have created to other groups.
