Description

Looking for something different for back to school? This is the BEST back to school activity, EVER. In this engaging activity, you'll set the stage by reading a dramatic story where students are aboard a chartered jet plane that's flying over the Amazon Rainforest. Trouble strikes, and students will be forced to make decisions about which items THEY believe will help them survive in a dangerous trek through the Amazon. A very different back to school activity - one your students have never seen!

A great, low pressure, everyone has an opinion, no-one has any actual experience, everyone thinks they're right, activity. After students listen to the engaging story line and select their items, either take time for a class discussion, or move right on to the PowerPoint Presentation that explains the rankings and points for various items. All rankings are the result of research.

How long will your students survive? Who will lead the trek? Who should just stay home?

THIS is the back to school activity kids will go home from school talking about.

THIS is the back to school activity that gets mentioned at the dinner table.

THIS is the back to school activity that brings excited kids back to class the next day.

Enjoy teaching again.

This survival scenario is NOW part of my survival bundle. Enjoy.
