Fun classes to teach for May term?

[u/Familiar-Coffee-8586]

We get to teach 4 classes during May, we can teach whatever we want, and we can have co-teachers. Last year I taught “Coffees /teas from around the world” and “Pickleball!” which were really fun and popular! I didn’t like my other two, which were book learning, and the kids didn’t enjoy. Since it is just a pass/fail based on attendance, what are some ideas you can come up with? I am even interested in an AI study, mostly just to demonstrate the dumb stuff it does and to have some fun research games, etc. 3 weeks, participation only. What should I teach!?

I've done a puzzle & riddle May term class where the students solved puzzles and riddles, created their own escape rooms, and then went to an escape room as a field trip. This was really fun and one of my most popular.

I also did an "And Then There Were None" themed murder mystery. We read an abbreviated story, made predictions and guesses about who was committing the crimes, and had a "murder mystery party" complete with costumes and roles at the end. I can't remember where I found the ATTWN game, but it's online somewhere.
