Introducing…the [School or Drama Club] Digital Talent Show!

Challenge: film yourself doing one of your special talents (singing, acting/storytelling, dancing, gymnastics, magic, slam poetry, stand up comedy, visual art, spoken word, making/creating something, yoga poses, tiktok dances, tricks, etc). The sky is the limit-nothing (school appropriate) is off limits! Acts can be 1-3 minutes long & students can submit 1 video daily. Bonus points when you involve a family member or friend, include costumes/props or cool venues! Video submissions will be posted on [Teacher’s] YouTube channel when they are received & approved (link below). [School] community will vote on the top videos at the end of our home learning experience (stay tuned for voting link). Winner will receive a [Gift Card Prize]. So tag your friends, submit your videos to [Teacher’s Email Address] & let’s be creative! The more the merrier! May the odds be ever in your favor!

(Encourage YouTube videos to be uploaded as “unlisted” so they cannot be found by anyone who does not have the link and won’t appear in search results.)
