I'm going to teach a knitting class at our school for Exploremore Day. The classes will be about 6-8 students from 3rd to 5th grade with about 40 minutes per class.
I'm thinking a group project that each class can add on to that can be presented to the school to hang and display. Does anyone have any suggestions to describe? I can't get beyond a holey-looking narrow wall hanging with some trinkets attached, which is so 70's. The kids won't have enough time to complete a square for something like a quiltish item.
I'm open to absolutely any idea whatsoever!!!

Some smallish squares could be joined together to make a baby blanket, which could be presented to a local shelter or hospital.
Kids could also make potholders, cell phone holders, little purses, long snaky belt/sashes. Scarves would take more time, but they could also be made with joined-together squares and donated (though now they'd be out of season). Maybe child-sized chemo caps to donate?
I can't think of anything nifty to give to the school. Maybe knitting strips to form the letters of the name of your school, which could then be displayed somewhere? Or a (washable) pillow or cushion for the nurse's office (or child-sized blanket, for that matter)?

Our local animal shelter takes "cat mats," 18-inch squares they can use in the cat cages that the cats can cuddle up on.
This is a great project for learners because the cats don't care if the knitting is very good or what color it is.
Could you do a "relay knitting" project for this type of mat?
Cast on 6-8 sets of needles in different colors. Let the first batch of kids pick a color and knit, and then hand it off to a kid in the incoming group. Let the incoming kid pick a new color to add on to make a kind of crazy stripe pattern.
If they didn't make the mats long enough, you could join a couple together.
Then you could find some stuffed toy cats and position them on the mats for display.
