In order to make the Venn diagrams, I gave them paper plates. For some reason, the simple act of creating a diagram on a paper plate (as opposed to one on a worksheet) suddenly made the activity more interesting and appealing to them. It was an idea I found over on Pinterest and I couldn't wait to try it out. Using colored construction paper might work well too!
I think they turned out very well too. Hooray for the creative teachers out there who share their ideas! I am grateful for them.

This is a fantastic idea! I also saw the paper plate venn diagram on Pinterest and wanted to use it. I agree...anytime you use something other than paper, it becomes more interesting. When I do things that would usually be done on index cards, I often use bulletin board cut outs instead (if I need 30 cards for a class, they are usually sold in 36) Just having an ice cream cone or an apple instead of an index card makes them more engaged. I can't wait to try the zodiac activity.
