I found a website titled
Apples 4 the Teacher at
http://www.apples4theteacher.com/socialstud.html.
The website is great for kids and teachers. The website can be a great resource
for teachers because it provides coloring pages, stories, word searches,
timelines, poetry, puzzles, and book reviews. This website is a great sight for
children to play online interactive social studies games. There are games and
other activities on this website that focus on the topics of presidents,
community helpers, cultures around the world, fire safety and prevention, multicultural
studies, U.S. government, U.S History, U.S. flags, historical figures, and
world geography. This website has a featured teaching ideas section that
focuses on current holidays such as for this month it focuses on the New Year, MLK
Jr. Day, Black History Month, Groundhog Day, Super Bowl, Mardi Gras, Valentine’s
Day, and Presidents Day. An example of an interactive activity is a puzzle
activity that involves unscrambling picture puzzles. Some of these puzzles are
the dollar bill, Mount Rushmore, or a famous painting. I think this website
will be a great website for any elementary teacher to use in their social
studies lessons.
