$5 - $10 8th Grade End of Year Projects

Are you and your students dreaming of summer break? Why not engage them in this project-based learning activity and watch them light up with excitement about the possibilities of travel? Students are given a $5,000 budget and are tasked with planning their dream summer vacation. This resource has imperative soft skills embedded such as research, creating well-organized presentations, and budgeting.

Students are tasked with:

• Research: choosing a city and country and completing a country research section. Country research includes population, flag, food, music, famous native, safety, and more!
• Planning: choosing flights, lodging, and transportation
• Writing: blog entries and postcards home
• Organizing: creating an itinerary of activities within the given budget

Looking for fun activities for the last days or week of school for your 8th-graders? This Bundle has two end of year activities to keep your early finishers engaged and on task when the only thing they can think about is summer break.

1. The End of Year Memory Book comes as a 21-page packet filled with Gen Z-approved activities that your students will cherish for years to come. Your students will be able to reflect on their year while creating a meaningful keepsake. This resource requires NO PREP - simply print and staple each packet.

A cover is also included!

2. The End of Year 8th-grade Survival Guide will allow students to reflect on their year! Pull these brochures out during Back to School season to get your new batch of kiddos better acquainted with you and your classroom!

Students will get a kick out of the hidden messages included on each brochure...one reads "GOOD LUCK!" and the other reads "YOU'LL LOVE 8TH GRADE!" Both messages are only visible when the image is angled a certain way (directions are included!)

You might be interested in the Money-Saving Summer Activity BUNDLE, which combines tons of engaging activities into a 60-page packet!

The Bundle comes with a gorgeous color and a b&w cover option to make it easy to turn it into an independent work packet! Simply print, staple, and go! I typically make one for each student so I can focus on ALL the things I need to do during the last weeks of school! You can also send it home with students for summer enrichment they will LOVE!
