How can i make mask making fun for an after school drama group?

I have less then an hour. I have roughly 45 minutes. Its a mix of grade 6,7 and 8. I’m also from a native American teaching school. My cooperating teacher wants me to include culture in this. I’m not sure how in such a short time frame.

    I don’t quite know your parameters from this question but - I might suggest a display after it’s all done so everybody can see everybody elses’ masks when it’s over.

    Relate the masks to your culture - show how every mask relates somehow to the culture and where they would fit in the culture with those masks - i.e. a very lavish mask could be used or recognized as X - a simple mask would be used or recognized as Y. Make it adiscovery process for them - discovering through their masks something about themselves!
