Go Team!
Cheer your team to success! Create bright pennants in your school’s colors—with a new twist. GO TEAM!
1. Athletes love to hear fans cheer! An encouraging word just as you enter the last leg of a race might spur you across the finish line faster. Knowing that the crowd wants you to make a basket might help you to SWOOSH. How do you think players feel when they see a whole stadium doing the wave?
2. Pennants and banners help get your message across visually. Even when other fans are yelling loudly, your sign can still be seen.
3. On large white paper, draw a long, triangle with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils. Use a straight edge to draw the lines straight.
4. Pick your team to support. What are their colors? Emblem? Mascot?
5. With Crayola Twistables, letter your encouragement large and clearly for all to read. Draw team symbols such as a powerful tiger claw.
6. Cut out the triangle with Crayola Scissors. Erase any extra colored pencil marks.
7. Glue the wide end of the triangle around a cardboard tube with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry the pennant.
8. Decorate the tube, too. GO TEAM!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Recycled Cardboard Tubes—Use paper towel tubes, gift-wrap tubes, or long cardboard tubes that can be cut to any length. Health professionals caution against using recycled toilet paper tubes for arts & crafts projects because of the potential fecal contamination.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
- Older students explore the controversy about team names that carry stereotypical messages. Stage a debate to voice opposing views.
- Organize a school pep rally. What is involved? If you don’t have a sports team to support, why not cheer for another type of team such as the school’s crossing guards or most prolific readers.
