History: Everything has a History, A Bundle of Resource!

By Gail Hennessey

EVERYTHING HAS A HISTORY:

A BUNDLE of RESOURCES

Use these resource to share with kids that history is all around us. This topic would be a great beginning of the year or end of the year activity. An activity I used to to with my students had the students writing a paragraph on their favorite childhood toy. What was it? Why was it important to you? What did it look like? What happened to it. This got the discussion started that even THEY have a personal history. I shared my Pinkie, a stuffed dog, that was my very favorite childhood toy( which I still have).

NOTE: If you'd like a student version so you can use it with Google Classrooms and not have the teacher section with the key, just email me via Q/A and I will be happy to send you a copy.

Bundle Includes:

Everything has a History…Even Candy!

Everything has a History…Even Chewing Gum!

Everything has a History…Even Shoes!

Everything has a History…Even Peanut!

Everything has a History…Even Football(Soccer)

Everything has a History…Even Tulips(Reading Activity)

Everything has a History…Even Pretzels(Reading Activity)

Everything has a History…The Past Shapes Our Present(Reading Activity)
