Special Projects : The Humanities Challenge

The Humanities Challenge

We at Humanities Washington would like to become better humans, but we know how hard that can be. So we decided to make a game out of it.

Take the Humanities Challenge

Playing is simple:

  • Download a moon board here.
  • Once per week, take one of the challenges below.
  • As you complete each challenge, fill in that week’s corresponding moon phase with a pen or highlighter.

For the moon board and instructions in Spanish, click here. Each downloadable challenge PDF below includes a Spanish version.

Humanities Challenges were originally unveiled weekly from October 11 to November 22, 2022, and featured a printed board and stickers distributed to those on our mailing list.
