Odyssey of the Mind Curriculum Activity: HEALTHY HUMOR

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This lesson is hilarious! To understand how to investigate a topic, collect data, and evaluate the results, learners research the effects of laughter on health. Each group is assigned a research task, which they will turn into role-playing scenarios that test and support their findings. The activity concludes as the children create a school-wide survey based on the data they collected and posters that promote health through humor.
