Here's a fun video that gives you an idea of all the fun things there are to do at the Union on The University of Oklahoma's campus! 

Here is a collaborative activity that the students could do in the classroom to practice their writing, reading, and social interaction. It also is a good way for them to reflect on something positive about their experiences in school. It gives them the ability to be creative while working on language arts. I think it can help the students get to know the other members of the class and interact with them over a common topic.
