The Big Georgia Activity Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book of activity sheets. While some pages are for older students, some can easily be used for older and younger students.
I'm using this book for my 2nd grader's home school. While this book can't be a source for a Georgia History curriculum alone, it can be a great resource for creating your own. It's easy to find the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for the grade (8th or 2nd) and create your own curriculum. Think of the GPS as a checklist or a reverse scavenger hunt (This is what we need to learn about. Now, how do we do learn it?) The Georgia Public Library system (PINES) is a great and FREE resource. You can request books from other libraries in the PINES system.
This book could also be used by a teacher for regular school to supplement the curriculum supplied by the school.

More alternatives to worksheets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second book with alternatives to worksheets and again, it contains great ideas to have kids learn through easy and engaging hands-on activities. All the ideas provided are organized in alphabetical order, and for each activity you will find suggestions on how to apply it through different areas across the curriculum. Some of the ideas included are how to make and use: board games, round dioramas (an alternative to the wonderful triaramas and quadriramas introduced in the first book), flip-flop books, menus, passports, puppets, time lines, spinners, mobiles and many more. Some ideas require basic materials like construction paper, envelopes, boxes, paper plates, and other household items. If the activity requires a specific template, the book contains a section of patterns that can be photocopied (like for example the pattern to make eyeglasses, flip-flop books, spinners, pinwheels and much more). Most of the activities require no further preparation and most can be done with the every day resources that most teachers keep in their classrooms.
If you have tried the first book, you can't miss this one which is just as good. If you haven't tried any, you won't want to miss them! Both books will help you give a twist to your lessons and you will definitely use fewer worksheets and obtain better results!
