Student Blogging Challenge Week 6 Activities

Choose TWO activities to complete

  1. Research board games – when, where, and why were they invented?
  2. Create a new game for someone to de-stress from their lifestyle.
  3. Your family is stranded on a deserted island with nothing but your clothes. How will you entertain yourselves?
  4. Research ball games around the world. Find out the rules and then try playing something similar at school or at home. How did it go?
  5. Find out the ways soldiers and sea captains used to relax over 100 years ago.
  6. The electricity grid went out in your country. What would you change in your lifestyle? How would you relax?
  7. Survey class members about games they have at home. Are you going to include computer games? Create some interesting graphs about results.
  8. Find an image that has a relaxing feel to it. Write a poem about the image. Remember to give attribution correctly.

Make sure you are ready for our game in a week or so.  To take part in this game, all classes and students will need the following:

  •  a user avatar
  • an ‘about me’ PAGE
  • a clustrmap or flag counter widget – if your clustrmap is greyed out, check my post here to fix it if using Edublogs widget
  • at least four interesting posts – could be topics of your choice not necessarily from the challenge
  • your ‘Recent Comments’ widget on the sidebar with 10 comments as the choice – Edublogs
  • your ‘Recent Posts’ widget on the sidebar with 10 posts as the choice – Edublogs
  • Your ‘Pages’ widget on the sidebar or pages in the header – Edublogs
  • at least 10 student and/or classes linked on your blogroll
  • at least three overseas blogs on your blogroll
  • posts tagged or categorized to make it easier to find interesting posts on each blog
  • the more students or classes you have linked on your blog, the more fun the game will be

The most important of these are the links to other student blogs on your sidebar. Try to have a couple of different headings like

  • My Friends
  • Class Blogs
  • Overseas Blogs

Having lots of  links to student blogs from other countries will help spread the game.
