Create an Award
**Note: The Post-Visit Activities are meant to be guidelines. The
teacher has the option of modifying them however they see fit. They
provide several opportunities for extended classroom activities as well
as group work.
At school, brainstorm the different types of awards – trophies, plaques,
medals, ribbons, etc.
•
Discuss the awards you saw at the Hockey Hall of Fame.
•
Discuss shape, composition, colour, etc. Students may participate in
a show and tell of trophies that are theirs, their siblings or other
relatives.
What award might be given in class?
Academics, athletics, congeniality, citizenship, outstanding
performance in...

Design awards
Paper mache over balloons, styrofoam cups, etc. give interesting
shapes. Once completed, have an awards ceremony in the class where
students can present awards, make speeches and have awards
displayed throughout the classroom.
Write an award story
Although teams win trophies, the trophies have sometimes had
adventures of their own. They have been left places and forgotten,
dropped and dented, and have even had to have guards escort them
around for their own safety. Write a story about a particular trophy’s
adventure. Your title could be…
WHY I LOVE BEING THE STANLEY CUP
MY MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT
OUCH- THAT HURTS PAL...
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE FORGOTTEN
At school, create your own hockey cards.

Post-Visit Activity #2
A Museum About You!
You have been appointed curator of a museum about yourself! It is up
to you to decide what people will see when they come to visit your
museum. First, create different “zones” similar to those you saw during
your visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame. For example, you might have a
Family Zone or a Sports Zone. Using the table below or a separate
piece of paper, list the zones you have chosen as headings. Under each
heading, make a list of a few objects or people you would want to
include in each zone. For example, in the Family Zone, you might want
to put pictures of your parents, brothers and sisters or pets. In the
Sports Zone, you might want to display your soccer jersey or your first
pair of skates. Think about all the artifacts you saw while you were at
the Hockey Hall of Fame. Each one had a special story or memory
behind it. Try to choose objects that have special meaning in your life.
Family

Friends Zone

Awards

Post-Visit Activity #3
A Museum About You!
For each of the zones you decide on, collect photographs, cut out
pictures from magazines or draw pictures of all the objects you listed
in the table above. For each artifact, write a few sentences on a blank
sheet of paper describing why it is special to you.
When you are ready, assemble all the pictures and their descriptions
and arrange them on a piece of bristol board or in a scrapbook. Make
sure you keep all the artifacts from the same zone together.
Optional:
• Design a layout for your museum. Where would you put each zone?
Would you have a gift shop? A snack bar? Games? Draw in the
route you think people should take to be sure they see everything.
•

Create an advertisement for your museum. What do you have at
your museum that would attract people to come and visit? What
are the admission prices? What time does it open and close?

Hockey Puzzle #4 (page 63)
1. If you buy 3 tickets for $2.25, you receive 4 tickets.
$2.25 = 4 tickets
$1.50 = 2 tickets
$6.00 = 10 tickets
Or, divide $6.00 by .75 and get 8 tickets purchased. For every 3, add
one more to get a total of 8 + 2 =10.
2. Subtract the number of goals scored from the total number of
points recorded to find the number of assists.
75 (points) – 31 (goals) = 44 (assists)
