What can we use instead of stickers, colorful markers, or a poster board if we can't find them?
If you don't have stickers, colorful markers, or poster board to decorate your review or poster, use colored pencils or crayons, glue cut-out pictures from magazines onto a clean sheet of paper, and take a photo of the finished review to upload to DIY.org.
What should we do if we can't decide which course has the highest total score after rating them 1–5 for fun, time, and cost?
If scores tie when you 'Pick the course with the highest total score,' break the tie by counting which course has more top (4–5) ratings or ask your practice friend during the 'Practice saying your review' step which one sounds more fun to them.
How can we adapt this activity for younger or older children?
For younger kids, make 'Write a list of at least three courses' into drawing the courses while an adult writes the two short facts and scores, and for older kids have them research exact costs, create a detailed digital poster, or expand the three-sentence review before sharing on DIY.org.
How can we enhance or personalize our review or poster beyond the basic instructions?
To enhance the project, add photos or a short video of you trying a related activity, include a simple one-week plan of what you hope to learn, and note the helpful suggestion you used before uploading the updated review or poster to DIY.org.
