In 2016, my teammate and I won Imaginarium Design Challenge. Our research in Ed Tech was funded and we collected some information about hands-on tools in science.

Pop up House architecture, art, math and ELA activities.

Spring break is coming... If you are looking for some activities for your kids, you can try this.

Get a piece of drawing paper, a large one. about 17x11. Fold it
in half.  Draw these lines as pictured.

Cut the solid lines and fold the dashed lines. The top side will become a roof and the bottom part will become a wall. Color and decorate both sides as needed.





You can decide that one side is what the house going to look like on different seasons. I like to color them the same. Tips: You can use pasta, sand, foamies or any other materials to create textures.

If this is for younger kids, you can help create the template. If this is for older kids, they can create their own house.

After you cut the blue shaded lines, you can attach both sides together and it will look like this.





You then can add some path or shrubs. If you make more than one house, you can create a neighborhood. Other options are to furnish the inside.  With this project, we can talk about front, top, side view of a house. 



Or talk about facade, texture, the color of a house. Thinking about connecting this with ELA, let's have them make up a story. Thinking about connecting this with Math, you can talk about proportion, ratio, scale. 

What else can you think? Leave us a comment.


Here is the link to the template
