Tell your own story:

Students enjoy telling their own Christmas stories. In this project, they will write and illustrate their stories of Christmas past, present, and yet to come, in a way that is similar to what happens to Scrooge in the novel.

I used this as a cumulative activity after the students had read the novel and before Christmas Break.

Students loved sharing their stories and hearing the hopes their classmates have for their futures.

What's included:

• Teacher directions.
• Past, present, and yet to come templates.

Why this product is useful:

• Easy prep for teacher.
• Festive display for the holiday.
• Students use creativity to illustrate.
• Great writing practice.

Kids will LOVE these independent The Wild Robot STEM / STEAM Building Challenge Task Cards based on book The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown. Pair these problem solving cards with the no-prep STEAM / STEM or sequencing worksheets, include them in your Makerspace, morning tubs, centers, as a reward, or as an activity for early finishers. Perfect for classrooms, homeschool, and even parents looking for fun, adventure filled activities for their children.

The Wild Robot Building Brick Challenge has 18 unique challenges created to follow the storyline in the order of the events as they happened.

What’s included in the 26 page download:

• 3 pages of 18 unique Full Color Challenge Task Cards
• 2 STEAM / STEM Worksheets in full color for early and upper elementary
• 5 Sequencing Worksheets in full color for the 18 challenges
• Instructions Page
• Terms of Use, Credits
• Black and White copies of the task cards, STEM / STEAM, and Sequencing Worksheets

How can you use these task cards?

⭐Build all the task cards in one sitting. This typically takes 1 – 2 hours to complete the set.

⭐Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, or available for early finishers to complete using any available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them.

⭐Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet with some of the challenges that require more problem solving and creativity.

⭐Practice sequencing by having students do several cards at a time, and then draw pictures of what they built (or the scenarios on the task cards) in the sequencing boxes.

⭐Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build as many cards as predetermined, and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but that also force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when completing these challenges.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**
