Name: ____________________________________________________________
Below, there are nine options for activities. You will need to choose and complete three of them. Your
three selections need to form a Tic-Tac-Toe design – horizontal line, vertical line or diagonal line (for
example, you can do 1, 2 and 3 (horizontal line), or 1, 4, and 7(vertical line) or 1, 5 and 9 (diagonal line)).
We will take the class time until the break to work on and finish this project.
1. Vocabulary Focus
Define the terms from
the list provided.
4. Board Game
Create a board game for The
Hunger Games or Catching
Fire that captures the main
events and obstacles found
in the arena (include game
pieces, a rule book, etc)
7. Compare/Contrast
Compare the story of The
Hunger Games with another
movie of your choice. Pay
attention to plot, characters
and conflict
2. Movie Poster
3. Drawing
Create a movie poster for
The Hunger Games or
Catching Fire. This should
contain enough information
about the plot to make us
want to see it.
5. Test
Choose your favorite chapter
from the novel and draw a
comic book strip that
illustrates the actions and
events from that chapter.
6. Travel Brochure
Take a open-book final about
the Hunger Games.
8. Casting and
Soundtrack
Create a travel brochure,
complete with descriptions
and visuals that will
encourage people to
vacation at the Capitol to
enjoy all the fantastic things
there.
9. Design a Tribute
Cast the movie of The
Hunger Games with who you
think should have been cast.
I will give you a character
list. Then, plan a 10 track
soundtrack, indicating the
song, the artist and when
the song would occur in the
movie.
My choices: ____________, ________________, and __________________
Pick a district and design the
ultimate male and female
tributes. What are their
skills? What is their age?
How do they look? What
would they wear in the
tribute parade and in the
arena?
Starting Points:
1. Vocabulary – These are words that have occurred through the novels. You may need to use a
dictionary (or dictionary.com) to help you out.
2. Movie Poster – You’ll have to decide what is the best image to put on a movie poster to
represent either The Hunger Games or Catching Fire. Be original but stay true to the novel. In
addition, you should know enough about the characters to be able to visualize what they look
like.
3. Drawing – Choose your favourite chapter and jot down at least eight main events and actions
from that chapter to include in your work.
4. Board Game – a good way to start designing a game is to start at Chapter 11 and move to the
end of the book. Make a list of all events and obstacles that are found in the arena and see how
to include them in your game.
5. Novel Test – Testing your general knowledge of the book.
6. Travel Brochure – Begin by jotting down the benefits of living in the Capitol. The whole point of
a travel brochure is to promote the positive aspects and ignore the negative ones. Persuade
people to visit. Write down all the positive things about the capitol that you can remember (and
use the book!)
7. Compare/Contrast – How does The Hunger Games compare to another movie? How are they
the same and how are they different? Look past some of the on the surface ideas and see how
the main characters, the plot and the conflicts in both are the same and how they are different.
8. Casting/Soundtrack – While there may have already been a movie, no movie is ever exactly what
you want. Think about the characters, how they look and their ages and figure out who you
would have cast. For the soundtrack, you’re showing off your knowledge of scenes in the book
and music that would be appropriate.
9. Design a tribute – Pick a district (it doesn’t have to be district 12!) and figure out who the
perfect tribute would be from that district. What skills would they have because they live in that
district? What weapons would they be good with?
