Shipwrecked Shelters

The purpose of this activity was to encourage creativity and teamwork. Each group was given the same exact materials and told that they had just been shipwrecked on an island and had to create a shelter. The materials included paper, a paper bag, crayons, glue, scissors, yarn, paper clips, straws, and pipe cleaners. It was so neat to see how different they turned out!
Eli, Alex, and Nathan created a sleeping bag, fishing hook, and torches to accompany their shelter.
Luke, Jake, and Trey created a secret code in their door and spears to hunt with.

Cameron, Jack B, and Michael evidently had a lot of electrical outlets on their island because they created a shelter that included a teleportation device and a scanner.

Aubrey, Sammie, and Kinsey named theirs the SAK shelter and created a fence.
Josie, Mikayla and Casey definitely were in survival mode. They included a campfire, berry bushes for food, a shed, and a straw that collects water for them to boil to make it drinkable.
Jack L, Hailey, and Ryan made their shelter 5 stories high to fit the entire class!
