Each kid comes up with something by building /  collecting / creating and presents to the audience. The kid needs to explain why he/she thinks this is WEIRD. The one with the weirdest explanation wins! Embracing your true self + being authentic.

This is so cool!  As an art teacher, I have a really difficult time getting my K-5 students to take creative risks and make things that are not cookie-cutter copies of my examples or their neighbor's art.  I might just have to borrow this idea for my classroom!  I think we would have to maybe have some conversations about why "weird" leads to innovation and how copying really doesn't add anything new to the conversation.
