A growing Canva template pack for K–12 classrooms
(This download comes with a PDF with Canva Template Links (keep them in your Canva account and edit to your hearts content) as well as an MP4 file of the spinning wheel)
Build It! is a hands-on, rotating STEM activity that gets students out of their seats, thinking deeply, and building their answers — literally. Using a spinning wheel and linked Canva slides, students are prompted with a reflective question and must construct a physical representation of their answer using classroom manipulatives and materials.
No two builds look the same, and that's exactly the point.
What's included (currently):
4 themed Canva slide templates
A spinning wheel slide (usable on its own for any classroom activity)
Hyperlinked question slides — spin the wheel, click the number, and the class is taken directly to that prompt
Themes available now:
Getting to Know You
End of Year
Earth Day
(more being added regularly!)
How it works:
Spin — A student spins the wheel on the main slide
Click — The corresponding number is clicked and the class is taken to that question slide
Build — Students use manipulatives or materials at their station to construct something that represents their answer
Share — Students share their creation through a gallery walk, stand up/hand up/pair up, or a quick whole-class share out
Station rotation tips: Set up different stations around the room, each with different materials — blocks, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, playdough, cards, linking cubes, whatever you have. Tables rotate between rounds so every student gets to work with different materials. This keeps energy high and adds a fun creative constraint — you have to answer the question with whatever's in front of you!
Sharing options:
Gallery walk — students walk around, view each other's builds, and write on whiteboards to explain what they think each creation represents
Stand up, hand up, pair up — students find a partner and explain their build in 30 seconds
Whole class share out — each student or group gets a moment to present
Works for all grade levels. Questions are open-ended and personal, so a kindergartener and a high schooler can answer the same prompt in completely different ways. The building challenge scales naturally with age and materials.
Grows with you. This is an ever-expanding pack — new themes and slide sets are added regularly. Purchase once and get all future updates.

Design is my love language.
From branding projects to classroom makeovers, there isn’t a design I don’t want to dive into. Whether you need visuals that tell a story or a space that sparks joy, I’d love to help bring your next project to life.
“Design is how I process the world. Whether it’s a classroom wall, a logo, or a single slide, I believe thoughtful design can make people feel safe, inspired, and seen—and that’s where real change starts.
