This 'Hidden Safari' lesson was directed for 1st graders but can be used for higher grades. What we did was first make our glasses. To make the glasses you cut out a small masks from construction paper and glue red cellophane to it. Then, you take a plain piece of white paper and with a blue colored pencil, draw a safari animal. I know you can't tell in the picture but I drew an elephant. Then you take warm colors, red, yellow, and orange and draw different overlaying pattern with each. Once that is all done put on the glasses you made in the beginning and your hidden animal will become visible! This activity is fun to teach students about warm and cool colors.
An extension activity for this would be to use it in math class. Have the students write a hidden math problem and exchange with the other students so they can solve it.
