Project Ideas

Project Ideas Courtesy Mission San Juan Capistrano:
• Visit The Mission. Draw a picture of your favorite spot, do a photo journal, or a video report of your visit.
• Make a classroom bulletin board with a specific theme such as: crops grown and how they were used as food, or the type of goods made and traded at the Missions
• Make a mobile or poster depicting animals found at the missions, crops grown, or cattle brands of each mission.
• Make a diorama depicting Mission activities and people
• Plan and play some Indian games: Nut-Dice game, Hand or Grass game, or the Stick game.
• Make a chicken wire, box, or card loom and do some weaving of different designs.
• Have a Mission Party with atole (thick, hot drink), pozole (pork and hominy stew), and bunelos (fried dessert); or make your own menu choices. Here is the recipe.
• We are sure students and teachers will be able to expand this list. It is only a starting point to get ideas flowing.
