Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief Activity - Make a Camp Half-Blood Necklace

The Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief Activity - Make a Camp Half-Blood Necklace: Inspired by the bead tradition at Camp Half-Blood, this creative activity invites students to make personal connections to Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. Just as campers receive a bead to symbolize each year’s most important moment, students will design their own necklace featuring five beads that represent significant experiences in their own lives. With room to explain the meaning behind each bead, this activity encourages reflection, creativity, and deeper engagement with the world of the novel.

This is included in our unit plan for the novel:
