I'm a young teacher who needs to fill the last week of school for a class of 8th graders (2 full school days and 3 half days) with things to do.
Some of them are difficult enough that simply leaving a movie running is a bad idea, so at the very least it can't fill all week. Yearbooks will fill some of the time, but not nearly out of it.
Any suggestions? I'd like to fill the time with stuff they'd enjoy anyway -with school rules, of course- and I'd rather keep them from a last minute suspension.

nah, you just need something riveting enough to capture and hold their attention

Are they predominately niggers?

No, it's pretty whitebread. Unfortunately, that means the tolerance on administration's bullshit is incredibly low.
I might get flak if they successfully post from social media, for example. The idea of them vaping in the bathroom sends shockwaves through the staff.
As a result, keeping them occupied is still important to me, even if I'm not particularly worried about them beating the shit out of each other or something.

Crash course on youtube is actually quite engaging and educational. That can burn some time easy.
Speech and debates with the whole class as judges works. For basic stuff like paper bags vs plastic or X-box vs Playstation
Bring in some really non-traditional board games and have them play it for a time.
Trivia bingo with decent prizes is a good time killer.

Have them write a letter to themselves and you'll mail it to them at the end of their senior year. Only downside would be cost of stamps. I remember doing that in school though. It was really interesting.
Maybe something like blackout poetry. Copy random pages from novels. They have to color in words to create a poem. Pic related.
I would reccomend asking the class for suggestions, since I don't know them that well.
If that doesn't work well, ask for school appropriate video recommendations. When I was in eighth grade, I'd always want to do that.
