Stencil prints

Use small sponges, scissors, construction paper, tempera paint.
Cut out the design and lay it over the paper and apply paint with sponge.

Styrofoam tray--Incised Block Printing

you need styrofoam trays to be your template, use a pencil to dig into it and create your design. Roll paint on your tray, lay a piece of paper over top, rub gently and pull off your print.

Rubbings

You can use any surface to get different textures. Use peeled crayons

Cardboard Cut-out Prints

Use corrugated cardboard to cut out a design and use it to transfer the design onto a second piece of cardboard or paper.
Use printer ink and brayers.

Couple Ideas from stumbling around

The Hieroglyphics would be cool to play around with, coming up with different symbols to represent different themes we are studying about. It could possibly be used as an assessment for a unit, a switch up for some fun.

The bird outline I was thinking could be done for poetry. It you have an outline done in pencil and then write a poem in it to represent the poem. Then you could erase the outline and just have the words in the shape of a bird or whatever creative idea the student would use to represent his/her poem.
