Station Description
The expected 100 students will be divided into 8 houses and assigned to a teacher or ETA to
accompany them to activities, which will be overseen by moderators.
Creating teams will encourage cooperation and teamwork as well as allow attendees to
interact with other students in their district. Dividing them at random will more evenly
disperse more students at differing levels of English proficiency (students with less
proficiency will be able to learn from more proficient students, more proficient students
may solidify their understanding by explaining to other students)
Gryffindor
Hufflepuff
Ravenclaw
Slytherin
WudForwudgie
Horned Serpent
Thunderbird
Wampus
Flying Keys
Harry must capture a flying key in order to unlock the door to the next challenge.
Focus: Teamwork
Objective: Teambuilding, as well as encouraging students to quickly use and interpret
commands and directional instructions in English. ETA can go through directional
phrases before activity.
Activity
Collect all of the golden snitches at the end of the obstacle course and return them to the
starting line.
Houses will be divided into two groups
One student must fly through the obstacle course on a broomstick while blindfolded.
Other students will direct the blindfolded student.
The student will collect one of the golden snitches at the end of the course before running
back to the beginning to throw it through one of three hoops.
The student who has completed the course will then pass the broomstick and blindfold to
another student.
This will be repeated until all of the students have completed the obstacle course.
Materials: Cones, boxes, hula hoops, baskets, and other items to make an obstacle
course; blindfolds; broomsticks
****The moderator at this station will time the teams; keeping track on posterboard. The house
of the team with the fastest time will be awarded points toward the House Cup.****
Troll
Harry and Hermione encounter a troll that has already been defeated by Professor Quirrel.
Focus: Practice English words, vocabulary and spelling
Objective: Expose students to roots of English words; a skill they can use
for reading comprehension with unfamiliar words in the future.
Activity: Correctly match spells from Harry Potter with their effect, using clues from
word roots.
The moderator will review the meaning of common roots of English words.
Using their knowledge of these roots, the students must match spells from Harry Potter
with their effect.
For each correct match, the students will register a hit on the troll.
Once the students have successfully matched 5 spells with their effect, they will complete
the challenge and defeat the troll.
Materials: poster paper, markers
**** The moderator at this station will keep track of the time it takes the houses to defeat the
troll. The house with the fastest time will be awarded points towards the House Cup. Bonus
points towards the House Cup can also be awarded for extra correct matches!****
Potions
Harry and Hermione must decide which potion to drink in order to cross a ring of fire.
Focus: Science
Objective: Creating a cause/effect reaction through household ingredients
Activity: Students will participate in a science experiment by combining ingredients to
make potions. Students will be led through the experiment and be able to combine the
materials to make a chemical reaction/create a science experiment.
Example: Create lava in a cup by adding vegetable oil in a glass of water. Watch how
the vegetable oil and water separate. Add salt to the top of the water and watch how the
oil clumps move up and down in the glass.
Materials: To be determined. Potential ingredients: vinegar, baking soda, water, food
coloring, vegetable oil.
