Interactive Social Studies Activities
We've compiled these interactive social studies activities below because they are conducive to using in the classroom with eInstruction clickers
or Interwrite boards like the DualBoard or Mobi.
With clickers, interactive quizzes from the Internet saves you time and often provides a break from routine for your students. Simply run the activity through your
computer and pose verbal questions through CPS using the questions on the screen. This can be played for the entire class using CPS in the teacher-led assessment mode.
There are some super virtual field trips that are easily experienced through the interactive whiteboard that really gets kids involved in social studies experiences. The free interactive games
are guaranteed to be a hit when you hand your Interwrite Mobi over to students in the class and let them do it!
One way to involve everyone in the class is to have one student take a turn and pass the wireless tablet to the person behind them or beside them. Pass it around the room this way and let the class compete against
time to see how quickly they complete the activity.
Use these interactive social studies activities as daily assessments, a new topic pretest, individual games, team games, or just a fun addition to your usual curriculum. The possibilities are endless; just tailor them to fit your needs!
Think outside the box and have fun!
