I’m keeping my eye out for more SMARTBoard ready interactive activities for the holiday season to add to my Christmas Holiday Resource page.

Okay, since Christmas is sneaking up on us fast, I thought I would share with you a few new Christmas Holiday resources to use on your SMARTBoard.

I recently sent a message to Danny Nicholson over at The Whiteboard Blog about the Teacher LED website to see if he had seen the site or knew the author. The author is a teacher from the UK named Spencer Riley and he has created an outstanding collection of resources perfect for the SMARTBoard interactive resources.

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

I have three sites related to Mathematics that work great on your SMARTBoard Interactive Whiteboard. These sites get my official “WOW” and they need to be in every teacher’s arsenal of resources.

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.

If you’re looking for a fun and exciting way to learn how to use Smart Notebook, then you should try out my free online course called Notebook Applications - Create a Puzzle.
Teachers will learn how to create an authentic learning application to use on their SMART Board. Best of all, the course is entirely self-paced so teachers can learn on their own 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.
