How to Do Google Mosaic Art in Your Classroom

The "Google Mosaic Art" project is a great project to do early in the year or during a computer thematic unit. The project is simple enough for the kids who cannot read or write to do and is fun for everyone. The Google brand is now a recognizable global icon, and it is always helpful and effective to teach pre-readers using logos that they can recognize. This is also a useful activity for improving your students' fine motor skills.

Here is how to create a Google mosaic.

Instructions

1. Get some 11-by-14 inch black (or white) construction paper.

2. Cut the paper into 7-by-14 inch pieces.

3. Write "Google" on the paper with a white crayon in similar font to that of the logo.

4. Have the kids cut small squares of colored paper from strips that you cut out first.

5. Have a sample for the kids to see while they do the project.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure that your students keep their elbows next to their bodies when they are cutting.
