Who wants to get creative?

I'm writing a character-sketch assignment for my 7th graders.
They've developed two characters already, and I want them to draw a scene out of a bag for the final task. 

So, where would you place two characters? Could be just a place (in the forest) or a place with a conflict (in the forest and you've run out of food).

This is making me crack up. I have no idea why I'm having so much fun with this

[themysteriouswife]

At home with no internet.*

* I can only imagine how freaked out middle schoolers will get without internet.

In the mall at night.

At home in a blizzard

Hiking the Appalachian trail

At the mall with $100 (is that a lot for kids these days?)

On the Hindenburg (I was going to say Ttitanic but thought that was too obvious with the movie)

5 monkeys, a video game controller, and a container of ice cream, in your living room.

You are dropped of in the center of (city nearby)

All the parents go on strike.

You wake up and you have an entirely new family

You wake up in an alternate universe where kids have to work

On a reality show in the middle of Iowa.

About to embark on a submarine for an extended period of time.

Discovering that they're really just toys in someone else's universe (that was a cool Twilight episode).

Inside a claw machine at Chuck E Cheese

[katfco]

Suddenly invisible at school

Able to travel anywhere in the world

The world has suddenly run out of all electricity (including phone batteries)

[dragon's breath]

Trapped in a tv show or a movie (don't know what kids are watching now, so not sure what show to recommend).

In a deep cave and all your sources of light go out.

A "Pixels movie" type situation where the characters in a video game (maybe Mario brothers) come to life bent on trying to destroy the earth.

[dragon's breath]

Shrunk and landed in the backyard (Honey I Shrunk the Kids style).
