geometry ideas

I did something with my fifth graders that integrated nicely with language arts. What I had my students do was create an alien from another planet out of geometric shapes. I provided as an example my version, which was a large rectangular "guy" with an acute angle for a nose, hexagons for hands, etc. I called my alien Gorg. I had my kids use at least six different geometric shapes and features to create their alien. When they were finished with him, they had to give him a name, tell which planet he was from, and describe his geometric features in paragraph form. I think they enjoyed this activity.
