I need some help ASAP and I know of no better group to ask. We have an event at my 5-8 middle school called "Reading and Writing Spectacular" that has everything from an author visit to a play, from a day of performers, to a day of workshops. I have just been asked to come up with an idea for a workshop by this afternoon. The workshop is about 40-45 minutes long and there are three through the day, with 20 students in each. These are wide open - one person is doing wordgames, one is decorating flip flops, someone is doing a cooking activity, others are board games, vampires, the spoons, swing dancing, etc. I am no good at this type of thing, I tried sudoku last year and it didn't go over as well as I had hoped. What I didn't realize at the time, is that whatever spots on the signup sheet that are not filled with people who want to take the workshop are filled up with people who have no interest. So those students are disruptive to the ones that want to be there. Basically I am wide open to ideas. I have thought of doing suduko again, just make it a lot more hands on than last year (last year, since I thought I would get only those interested in the topic, I planned a lot more around strategies). Other thoughts I have toyed with have been Manga/comic books (although I am not sure what or how as I don't have a lot of either in the library), creating a pop-up, scrapbooking a picture (I do have a lot of supplies for that, but it would require everyone to bring a picture unless someone out there has a great idea for pictureless people) or some sort of other crafty thing that doesn't take a lot of supplies. So, any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I will post a hit if there is any interest. Thank you in advance for any and all help.
