Class time capsule
- ages 3–15
- 40 min
Children write or draw their dreams for the new year and hide them in a box that they will open in June.
Steps
- Conversation: what is a year, how many months it has and what changes in it (seasons, birthdays, height).
- Each child draws or writes on a piece of paper what they want to learn in the new year and what they want to experience.
- Children trace their hand on a piece of paper and write five things they like doing now in the fingers.
- The papers go into a decorated box, which we seal with tape and sign with the opening date.
- In June you open the capsule and check what has come true.
Tip: Also measure each child's height with a string and hide the strings in the capsule: in June you will compare.
Materials needed
- Cardboard box with a lid (1 per class)
