One of my favorites for spring and recycling is the recyclable arcade project! A few years back my teaching partner and I were inspired by the video Cane's Arcade about a boy who built a whole imaginary world of arcade games from the boxes his father had left over from shipments at work. We showed our students the video and then we challenged our students to work together as teams to build their own functional game. They came up with so many creative ideas! So good, in fact, that we have asked several classes in the years that followed to rise to the same challenge and have incorporated it into our Earth Day and recycling units. If you want to try the recyclable arcade challenge with a group of students, you can download your copy below.
