PROJECTS

1. Create a kids’ meal

3.  Create a game

Create a game based on the novel.  You may model it after a game that already exists, but it must be modified to pertain to our book.  For example, your game may follow the rules of Monopoly, but instead of going to jail, you are sent to the closet and the chance questions quiz you about the story.  Web sites to consider:
