Here’s another custom word search riddle for your SMART Board interactive whiteboard created in Notebook 10. This word search riddle supports The First Thanksgiving website from Scholastic.com. You can click on the picture to download the file.
I created this word search riddle to be used as an introductory or follow-up activity for The First Thanksgiving website from Scholastic.com.
You can find additional U.S. Thanksgiving resources for your SMART Board on the SMARTBoard and U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday Resource Page.
The first site is called State Capitals and it allows you to practice identifying the U.S. capitals using a highly engaging interactive site.
The second site is called Place the State and it challenges students to drag and drop states to the correct location on a map of the United States. It even calculates how far off you are.
A big thanks goes out to Anne Marie over at Talking SMARTBoards & Much More who found a great site called Cash Out that helps kids count money to make change. This application works great on the SMARTBoard since the kids can simply touch on the pictures to make change. I also like that it has a real word problem that needs to be solved.
The answer can be found in my newest Notebook 10 Halloween Word Search for your SMART Board
The objective is to use wheels and rods to create a contraption that will move an object to a target area. You can also take a look at other people’s contraptions to see how they succeeded. This application works great on the SMARTBoard and will keep your students (or you) occupied for a very long time.
Here’s another list of Halloween activities to use with your SMARTBoard. All of these activities have been shared by other bloggers. A big “thank you” for sharing these resources with others!
I’ll get them compiled with my other list as soon as possible.
Yesterday I posted information about going “live and online” with Jim to learn how to create your own customized word search using Smart Notebook. In my example, I showed a Halloween Word Search game as an example of what you’ll create in my class. Since then, I’ve received multiple requests to share my word search activity so you could use it on your classroom SMARTBoard.
Halloween Activities for your SMART Board
I love solving the riddles, especially when they have a Mathematics twist. Here’s a really fun application to play on your SMARTBoard interactive whiteboard called “The Decanting Puzzle.” It’s a wonderful flash game that let’s you solve 6 different riddles related to filling and emptying jugs to come up with the right amount of water. The problem is that the jugs don’t having any markings on them. All you know is their capacity.
