1) Have each student (or a group of students) invent a species of mythical creatures (Ex: a fairy)
2) Have them draw and cutout this creature to put in an "environment" (somewhere in the class)
3) Then have them write out specific characteristics/details on the back of the cutout depending on what you're learning in the class
-> Ex: If your learning about niches and competition in environments have the students write
a description of what their mythological species eats, where it lives, etc.
4) Put all the creatures together to show how they interact together, how they compete, etc. This idea can be adapted to teach kids about almost anything in ecology or other scientific studies!

***This idea is for you English teachers! It can be used as a creative writing lesson or something just to do for fun when you have free time :)
1) Have each student (or a group of students) invent a mythical creature (Ex: a unicorn or dragon)
2) Then have each student (or group) write a description with character traits (or other things you're learning in English)
3) Brainstorm story ideas, and write a story with the whole class* that includes all the characters
-> *could have each student write a sentence and pass it along to the whole class or teacher can write the story on the board/doc camera while students raise their hands to give sentences.
