Fun Classroom Activities

The 20 enjoyable, interactive classroom activities that are included will help your students understand the text in amusing ways. Fun Classroom Activities include group projects, games, critical thinking activities, brainstorming sessions, writing poems, drawing or sketching, and more that will allow your students to interact with each other, be creative, and ultimately grasp key concepts from the text by "doing" rather than simply studying.

1. Drawing Activity--Prelude

Have students make a drawing showing the relative positions of Gary, the rocky outcropping, the sled, the hook, the dogs, the canyon, and the frozen river. How close to the edge of the canyon were the sled and dogs? How far was the drop to the canyon floor?

2. Ten Survival Items--Prelude

Imagine you are a musher on a training run. You can only bring 10 things with you, not counting the sled and the dogs. What would you bring?
