nkd Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Do you have any ideas for a CAS activity that counts for both Action and Creativity? We need one activity that combines two kinds of hours and I already finished Service. Got any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other ideas are:- 1- Poster construction or advertisment.2- Learing how to design and design it.3- Writing a short story, Play, Scnario.4-Photography.5- physics inventions.6-Website designs.7-Producing a multimedia.8-Writing poems.Those are some idea, in which you can learn then make.Btw action is the easiest in finding an activity.As Marsupilami said, you can look to other people ideas.

Jackie Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Like Marsupilami said, you could join Drama? I'm part of the tech crew and it counts for both creativity and action because the tech people have to run around back stage and build sets. You will get a TON of hours, trust me. I'm head of props and the scenic painter so I have more hours than most of the other techies but they still had more than 50 hours each for just one show.

nkd Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I go to a really small school (70 people in our grade), so we don't really have sports teams or theater productions. Any ideas for activities outside of school? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 You can always finds some friends who also need C and A hours, get together and do some of the ideas inm mentioned as a group effort and have a teacher monitor you and sign off that you did it. We had something similar to a "humanitarian race" organized in our city, and some students participated by running in the race while also helping advertise and promote the race by making posters, web page designing, etc. In order to run the race, everyone had to pay a small fee, like 2 dollars, and at the end of the race they got a little prize, like a tT-shirt, for participating. Therefore, that activity involve C, A and S.C- the promoting, designing, advertisingA- running in the raceS- donation to the race (humanitarian cause) and promotion of the raceHere are some more specific ideas I can come up with (hope they are possible/help you out):1. Create an after school read-out-loud for younger studentsC- make posters for the read-out-loud/advertise it, create small treats for the little children who come (scrap books, etc.)A- the reading and managing of the eventS- reading to the little children(this could also be done fr underprivileged children, children in orphanages, etc.)2. Organize a "sports day" for the students at your schoolC- advertising, organization, posters, activities, maybe design T-shirts/waterbottles (our school did that)A- the actual sportsS- service for the students, or you could do it for an orphanage, underprivileged children etc. (like I said in the previous idea)3. Organize a poetry competition4. Ask someone at your school if you could create a web page for something they may need (this could also involve photography alongside web designing and the service you would be doing for your school)etc etc...there's a lot out there, take initiative and you'll do fine, get people enthusiastic and involve them, you're leadership could really be needed if people just aren't willing to create such an event on their own. There are group effort ideas. As far as solo goes, I'm blank. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also use the school facilities or teachers, in this way all thing could be easy for you. The idea for the race is a nice one, you can do it for your school or avenue. You can use the money raised from the race to give for charitable organization, like (Orphans). We are doing an openday for charity in our school in which we will bring some companies to buy things, do some activities, then the all sum of money will go to a charitable organization, my school also contain 55 student (IB and Americam diploma) for grade 11. The idea is not on the number of students. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccentricPianist Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Do you have any ideas for a CAS activity that counts for both Action and Creativity? We need one activity that combines two kinds of hours and I already finished Service. Got any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated.You could come up with (as others have already said) a play or skit. Coming up with it counts as Creativity, and doing it counts as Action. What I did for action was come up with a teaching schedule for my karate class and games that help the kids learn the stances/moves/kicks and punches, and then I went and did it! It didn't work that well. I forgot that eight year olds don't have the attention span like me (which is saying a lot. Pretty sure a goldfish could out-attentionize me!) I also taught some little kiddies a basic C major scale on piano (before I was in IB, so that sadly doesn't count). So, you could do something like that! Give a presentation at a local elementary school, teach a class of preschoolers how to spell/read. Also counts as Service for the last one i think, not sure. Keep on keepin' on!~EccentricPianist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 You can host events and take part in them. eg you can do a fund raise where you have spotrs competitions and all, and you also take part in them.. You would get both creativity and action for that because teachers will obviously be there to supervise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBcrazylife1 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hey guys any ideas for a fund raiser. We did rose sales and a bake sale for Valentines day and it was brilliant! No dances or talent shows something small scale perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nametaken Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) There are a LOT of things that you can do for action and creativity. For example: I'm doing martial arts, writing for my sixth form's newsletter (creativity and service) and a whole load of other things, including web design for small time companies. Take up a new sport...like I am! Btw, check out my CAS site, I've updated it and put a video of me doing martial arts on the video page: mycas-experience.t83.net.

EccentricPianist Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Like the others have said, music, dance, writing class - participate in ScriptFrenzy (it's in april if you can wait that long. (just google it). For my creativity we're doing a quick video with animations promoting equality. If you're good with computers and have a lot of time, then that might be good!
