Social Studies Review Games and Activities (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

This book is for social studies teachers, but it can also be used in other subject areas. It can be used at different grade levels, but is primarily targeted to middle school to high school students. The purpose of this book is to provide fun and rewarding ways to review the content of your course or to prepare for a test. Instead of the traditional boring test review methods, these games and activities are fun and competitive. They help drive student motivation and retention way up! Other activities in this book can serve as icebreakers or a constructive way to fill downtime, such as the last few minutes of class after the main activity has been completed, during days when there is an assembly, course scheduling, hearing or vision tests, or any other time that is not an ordinary teaching period. Some of the activities can be used for extra credit or motivational activities. They can be a good way to break up the routine and keep students busy doing something productive instead of just giving students "free time", which usually just leads to students wasting time or acting out in class. The students enjoy these activities and are having so much fun they do not know they are learning! I have used these type of activities throughout my teaching career with great success. Students commented that they were what made the course stand out from other social studies classes that they had and that they really helped them learn better.
