In order to help students look the part, we start to think about costuming ideas once they have selected the hero they will research. Costumes are not elaborate, but we try to put items together to make them resemble their hero and help them “feel” the part. Creative thinking and items from the closet usually do the trick. (See Amelia Earhart, Thomas Edison, and Neil Armstrong below.)
Typically, a student will work with their family to create their costume. As teachers, we try to support students who need to complete their look with our small classroom collection of clothing and props along with some creative thrift shop purchases.
If you have some extra costuming items cluttering up a closet, you can send those in and help us build our collection. Check the list below for some ideas!
Possible Costume & Prop Items
- Old fashioned looking dresses, blouses, & skirts
- Sport jackets
- Handkerchiefs, scarves, shawls, & ties
- Wigs or hats
