Computer Craft
Posted on Friday, August 8th, 2008 at 11:07 pmWhat are some good craft ideas for school clubs to make?
I'm Spirit Coordinator for a club this year at my school and we have spirit judging each week there's a pep rally. Most of the judging is for signs and posters around the school, but some of the judging counts for spirit items that different clubs hand out, like small laminated paper footballs that say "Computer Club loves football" and stuff like that. What are some good, easy, and cheap craft ideas for the club to do?
You can make Spirit Pins out of beads and safety pins. Just use the small safety pins and add a couple small beads with the school colors. Clip the pin onto a piece of paper that has your slogan on it. You can also laminate a one or two line slogan and attach it to the pin. Then the students can wear the pins with the school colors anytime.
To bead safety pins, put the beads on the pin. Close the pin and with a pair of pliers, gently pull the loop apart at the back end and slip the beads around the loop until they are on the top of the safety pin. Pinch the loop back together.
You can start a Spirit Tree. If you can obtain a portion of a school wall or bulletin board, build a tree trunk. Use brown tissue paper and roll it and scrunch it into the shape of a tree trunk with branches. Let the tissue paper be 3D and not flat on the wall. If you can't use a wall, make a free standing tree and move it around.
Hand out leaves (either dye cut or hand cut) with your slogan. Ask them to write something good about the school, or root for their favorite sport or just ask them to Join in the Spirit Tree with their first name. Hang the leaves from the tree. You could leave a folder attached to the wall (or tree whatever the case may be) with leaves so that anyone can grab a leaf and leave their message. You can either staple or tape them to the tree.
You can hand out paper bags to make a big noise at the spirit assembly. Put your slogan on the bags, hand out the bags to kids as they enter the gym. Lead them in a rousing school song and end it with a bang-where everyone gets to pop their bag in time with the song (if possible). You could make it a competition from one side of the room to the other...who can be the loudest! Make sure you have recycle bins at the doors when the students leave so they can dispose the bags properly.
Hope this stirs up some ideas for you. Have fun on Spirit Day!
