A slogan or phrase that typifies the family Have the students design a front and back using the newsprint for a preliminary sketch. Then have them show the sketch to a partner to be sure their idea has been clearly depicted. Have students draw their final design on their tee shirts using fabric markers. To share, students can hang the shirts on a clothesline around the room and tell the class about their designs. If actual tee shirts are not readily available, students may trace and cut a tee shirt form from oak tag or poster board.
Students can have a tee shirt contest.
Awards may be given for the funniest, the most original, most artistic, and the most creative use of language, etc. In keeping with the theme of family, students may design a tee shirt for another family member.
