Express your team spirit and unique personal style! Create a replica of a traditional totem pole as a get-to-know-you project!
1.
Totem poles are traditional among Native American clans who live along the Northwest Pacific Coast of what is now the United States and Canada. Research how their totem poles are carved. Find out about some of the traditional images used, such as ravens, beavers, whales, and thunderbirds. Many symbols signify characteristics of which families are proud.
2.
With a small group of classmates, discuss your interests, skills, and favorites to discover common themes, such as soccer, dogs, video games, or crafting. Sketch some possibilities for symbols to represent your team’s ideas with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils.
3.
Together, decorate one small snack tube with Crayola Model Magic. Use symbols for the common themes your team discovered about each other. Mix colors if you like, or knead just a little for a marbled effect. Model Magic fresh from the pack sticks to itself.
4.
Team members each personalize a totem pole section on separate snack tubes. Show your favorite things to express your individuality!
5.
Place small rings of Model Magic between sections. Stack them on top of each other and press together to make one totem. In the oral tradition, explain your Team Totem to other teams in the class.
