Social Studies & History Cultural Activities

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)

Why learn Social Studies?

"Why do We Have to Learn History?" Students always ask me this question. My

answer-much of what we have today was because of things developed by people that lived long ago.This reading activity shares many things we have today thanks to previous cultures. I've included several comprehension questions and two extension activities.

This reading is great for those asking,"Why study History?"

This is a growing bundle of fun, engaging student friendly crafts that support studies on black leaders of our nation that require low teacher prep. Each product contains multiple options, but check preview of each product to see specific details. This product currently contains crafts for the following people:

• Rosa Parks
• Ruby Bridges
• Harriet Tubman
• Mae Jemison
• Garrett A Morgan
• Barrack Obama
• Jackie Robinson
• Martin Luther King Jr.

This is a growing bundle and leaders will be added until the description says otherwise. I hope your students enjoy these as much as mine did!

This is the most adorable Ruby Bridges craft to add to your studies on Ruby Bridges. Students get to color, cut, and design Ruby's First Grade classroom! This makes the best bulletin board and is very student friendly.

This is a cute, interactive craft to go along with your studies on Rosa Parks. This bus craft requires low teacher prep and students will love it! The students get to decorate in the inside of the bus Rosa Parks was on. They can add their own details or use the items provided in the project (see preview.) Windows can be cut out or not, there are so many options! This made the cutest bulletin board for my first graders.
