Social Studies Ancient Greece Parthenon Craft 3D Model

If you're studying ancient Greece, this 3D paper model will bring your topic to life. This is a hands-on project ideal for 4th grade and above, using materials that are easily available.

You can differentiate with the craft by using the smaller, easier version or the larger, more challenging version. The smaller size is 3.5in x 3in and the larger size is about 4in x 7in. The smaller size has three pieces to join, and you can simplify this further by leaving out the steps. The larger version has five pieces to join, so is more challenging and great for older children.

Ideas for use:

• Students could color it first, or make it as it is. You could also get students to add a modern twist or any other details to make it unique.
• Use as part of an ancient Greece study
• Use when learning about famous buildings around the world
• Use it as a hands-on activity for early finishers, golden time, GATE, or similar

You will need:

• paper
• glue sticks
• white glue
• double-sided tape (optional)
• scissors
• coloring pencils (optional)

What's included in the zip file?

• 2 pages of outlines for the smaller version (either with or without steps)
• 4 pages of outlines for the larger version
• PDF slideshow of instructions to show on a screen
• Student handout of instructions

3D crafts can be challenging for students so please consider if your students have the fine motor skills needed before purchasing.
