STINKY University DIY Sessions
STINKY University is also known as S.T.I.N.K.Y. U.! – that is, Sessions That Impart Noxious Knowledge You’ll Use!
Below you will find video clips*, gross recipes, and PowerPoint slides that will help YOU become an Instructor of Ickiness! Kids will become Graduates of Grossness! (Note that Session #2 contains an integrated slide-and-video-clip model.) Lesson Plans include supplies needed for hands-on activities.
STINKY University is geared to 6-12 year olds, though some mature 4-5 year-olds and some older kids (13-14) enjoy them as well. Do your kids think burping is hilarious? As long as bodily functions are amusing and interesting to them, they are probably the right age! Of course, fun-loving grown-ups get a kick out of them too – and often learn something themselves!
