Homeschool Huddle: Historical Wax Museum

Each student in grades 1-8 will choose a real person from history, science, the arts, or culture to research, represent, and deliver a speech about their life. Participant registration required.

Each participant will choose a real person from history, science, the arts, or culture to research and represent. Dressed in costume and standing “frozen” like a wax figure, students will come to life with the press of a pretend button to deliver a short speech about their character’s life and accomplishments. This fun and educational project includes: 

• Choosing a historical or influential figure to portray 
• Researching and writing a one minute speech
• Creating a costume and self-standing display board 
• Practicing public speaking and presentation skills 

Note to Participants: Please bring your own self-standing display board for your presentation (36" x 48" max size). Arrive 30 minutes before program to check-in and set up. 

On museum day, families and visitors will walk through the library exhibit, meet these "living" wax figures, and learn from the amazing people of the past and present. Prizes will be awarded! Email childrensantori@aurorapubliclibrary.org with any questions. Participant registration required. Public welcome!
