Make it a gingerbread house decorating competition
Same kit, same hour. Four things turn the class into a contest.
- 1Pick one theme everyone builds to, so the houses compare well on camera.
- 2Name two or three judges who won't be decorating, and give them the categories before the call.
- 3Turn the house tour at the end into judging: each house to the camera, one at a time.
- 4Send the winner something small, and post the gallery screenshot in your team channel.
