Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite books! It is so motivational and inspiring and talks about the ups and downs of life.
This is a favorite writing craftivity that I like to do with students after reading and discussing the book.
Materials Needed:
paper plates
tissue paper cut into squares
glue
construction paper
To make the hot air balloon, have students crumple tissue paper squares and glue them to a paper plate.
After the paper plate is covered with tissue paper, have students glue 2 strips of construction paper (about 1/2 inch wide) to the back of the plate and then glue a basket shaped piece of paper on to resemble a hot air balloon.
I had students write a goal on their balloons. Some of them wrote goals for this school year and some wrote more long term goals. I love how they turned out!
