Your Mission
Use Teen Junk Mail Mood Board Remix to create a specific, welcoming free-time adventure with a clear beginning, useful finish, and room for every participant to contribute.
What You'll Need
- Old catalogs or junk mail
- Scissors
- Glue stick or tape
- Paper or cardboard
How to Do the Quest
- 1
Remove or cover addresses, account information, and any personal mail before inviting anyone to cut or collage.
- 2
Choose one non-shopping prompt such as a room feeling, a future skill, a color season, or a movie title that does not exist yet.
- 3
Sort pages into words, colors, textures, and shapes before cutting so the board has a deliberate direction.
- 4
Arrange pieces without gluing first, then ask whether each item supports the chosen feeling or story.
- 5
Glue the final layout and add three hand-written labels explaining what the collage is trying to communicate.
Quest Challenge
Can the board feel complete using only recycled paper and no personal information?
Pro Tip
The clearest mood boards have a point of view; leave out a good clipping if it does not fit the story.
Safety First
Use age-appropriate scissors, cut away from hands and others, keep personal mail private, and ask an adult for help with difficult materials.
