This footprint project is a great way for students to use their creativity to show the class about themselves--family, interests, and numerous other things that are important to them by using 3 mediums.
The footprint I made included an ichthus (Jesus fish), my zodiac sign (Taurus), and a heart/heart beat line/faith design to stand for what I believe in. I drew painted toenails and my favorite sandals because I love summertime; one of the circles of the sandal has a red wagon wheel to stand for one of my favorite songs, "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine. I also included a Piston Cup sticker and the Disney "D", because my favorite Disney movie is "Cars". There is blue tissue paper on my footprint because I live on a ranch, walking distance from the Little Missouri River. Lastly, I have music notes and a picture of Badlands Ministries Bible Camp (BLM), because music is a very large part of my life and I have spent quite a few summers at BLM as a camper/counselor, where I learned how to play guitar.
You can also use this project as a math lesson by taping all your students' footprints on the hallway wall, heel-to-toe, then measuring the length. Another idea would be laminating all the footprints and using them as their name tags on either their lockers or desks. This way students will be reminded of things about their classmates everyday.
