Mannequin Challenge Giving Theme

This month we have been learning about giving.  Students have random acts of kindness challenges each day.  We have decorated and given a Christmas tree to a local charity, written notes to teachers and today we wanted to put a visual to our learning.

The Mannequin Challenge is a viral Internet video trend where people remain frozen in action like mannequins while a moving camera films them.  To apply our character learning with giving this month we did a mannequin challenge in the classroom.  Students watched a couple mannequin challenges. Ellen at White House, Texas A & M Gymnastic Team and
Ms. Miller Fourth Grade Class in Western KS  They then listed ways to demonstrate giving.  Students worked together to create poses and plan props.  I hope you enjoy it!
