2023 Manaiakalani Film Festival – “What’s in the box?”

Jaedha and Shwe Shwe’s “What’s in the box?” challenge had the students of Room 9 buzzing with excitement.  They had to use their sense of touch to identify the mystery object inside the box, but it proved to be more difficult than they expected.

Watch Room 9’s “What’s in the box?” short to find out what it was!

  1. This movie is so creative, me and my family played this once. I love that you guys got to play this in class and guess what was in the box. Did you just grab any items you found and put it in the box? Which of the items in the box did you’ve find the hardest to guess? I loved your movie so much!

    Sincerely Vika,

    1. Thank you so much for you’re very nice comment,it was also lots of fun looking at the others guess whats in the box,we also used food from the bakery, and yes we used some random items that we found laying around in our classroom like the glue stick, mandarin, and mask, thank you for you’re very interesting questions.
