These creative masks really help students get into character!

This activity is appropriate for:
kindergarten - 2nd grade / 5 - 7 years

You will need:

Paper plates (one for each student)
Washable Broad-Tip Markers - Class Pack or Lakeshore Crayon Packs
Yarn or string
Jumbo Craft Sticks
Colored Feathers – Class Pack
Collage Buttons
Lakeshore Jumbo Glue Sticks
Safety Scissors

Directions

Give each student a paper plate and Jumbo Craft Stick.
Have students choose a character from a story you are reading in class and decorate their plate to represent that character. Encourage students to use different materials provided to add colorful details.
Help students cut eye holes and attach their finished plates to the top of a craft stick with tape to create a character mask.
Invite students to bring their masks with them as they sit on the floor in front of you. Then, reread the story together and have students take turns using their character masks to reenact the story.
