Project #1: Winter Tongue Twisters

Yup - that's how you spell tongue!

Visit one of these tongue twister sites and choose a tongue twister to illustrate (or you can make up your own - make it G-rated!) 

1. Write your tongue twister in PowerPoint.

2. Illustrate with shapes and clipart.

3. Choose a cool background.

Example

Note: Usually, we would save each slide as a .jpg and upload them to VoiceThread so each student could read their own tongue twister. Ran out of time this year!

Project #2: Excel Gingerbread House

1. Download the Gingerbread template. 

2. Add your name to cell A11. 

3. Use the Direction Sheet to fill in cells with color. 

4. When finished, you may 'decorate' your gingerbread house with clip art. Here's an example!

We won't print this project - it wouldn't turn out very well in black + white!  

 Project #3: Winter Checkers

1. Download the checkers template.

2. Copy and paste a clip art in the 1st 3 columns (green boxes only).

3. Copy and paste a different clip art in the last 3 columns (green boxes only).

4. After you save, find a partner to play checkers with you!

To move your clip art, cut and paste.

To 'king' your clip art, make your clip art larger.

Project #5: Snowman ME!

1. Open a  PowerPoint slide and save.

2. Use the shapes to 'draw' a snowman: 3 snowballs, stick arms, a hat (NO face!).

3. Right click on the head snow ball.

4. Click on Format Shape.

5. Click on Fill > Picture or texture fill

6. Click on File > locate your head shot picture > Insert.

7. Ta da! YOU are the snow person!!!

8. Use clip art to decorate your landscape - add some trees, kids in the snow, Santa flying thru the sky, etc.

SAVE often!

Ask to print - we'll put these up in the hall.
