World Cultures Project - Cultures Around the World Barbie PBL - MS Digital Resources
This engaging World Cultures project invites your students to create Barbie or Ken action figures that represent cultures from around the globe. The project begins with students researching a specific culture using a guided research template. Following their research, they will design the clothes and accessories for their dolls to reflect that culture.
Project-Based Learning (PBL) activities foster higher-level thinking and creativity in the classroom. This project can be adapted to showcase any world culture and looks fantastic when displayed! Teacher presentation slides will help you explain the project, and a filled rubric simplifies the grading process. My students always love crafting their “Global Action Figures”!
The project includes printable materials and interactive digital versions. It’s designed for traditional in-class learning and digital 1:1 classrooms. Everything you need is provided!
