Which decade was the best?

Our class had a decades project which required each group to present their chosen decade to students at large. Students voted on which decade they thought was the best to live in. Every group dressed in costumes, presented facts and artifacts and some even danced. Students voted the Roaring 20's as the best decade to live in, but I still think living in the fifties must have been a blast.

This project would be a very engaging activity for elementary students to participate in. They have to learn about their own decade and present it to other students PLUS they learn about the decades of all the other groups. It is fun and easy. Teachers may need to assist students with costumes because some of them were challenging to find, but with a little creativity, pre-planning and Goodwill shopping, students in class can have a great time learning all about the decades!
