SMARTBoards and Creating Your Own Holiday Lessons

It's so much fun for me to see teachers creating their own interactive lessons for the SMART Board and sharing them with other educators.

Teachers seem more willing to share their skills and knowledge compared to other people in other professions. This is probably why "Sharing Is Caring" is such an appropriate sign-off for each of my blog posts.

Here are three U.S. Thanksgiving custom word search Notebook files that I created last year. Students use the highlighter pen to find the words and then they try to solve the riddle using the remaining letters in the puzzle. Please feel free to download them and use them in your classroom.

Word Search Riddles from Teachers Love SMART Boards

Thanksgiving Word Search - What is that red thing that hangs from a turkey's neck?

Thanksgiving Word Search - Name the Indian Tribe that celebrated the 1st Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Word Search - Name the ship that carried the Pilgrims to America in 1620

To keep with my theme of "Sharing," I will personally create 10 new Thanksgiving Word Search Riddles for the first 10 teachers who fill out the puzzle request form below. All you need to do is come up with 10 words to go into the puzzle and a Thanksgiving-themed question like the ones above. I will post the Notebook files on my Thanksgiving Resource Page on Monday.

SMARTBoards and U.S. Thanksgiving Resourses

Last year, I created an entire page of U.S. Thanksgiving holiday resources so my readers could find everything in one place. It includes games, puzzles, historical interactive sites, clip art, quizzes, and a few custom word search puzzles created by yours truly.

I've tested and updated all the links and everything looks good to go. If you know of any other Thanksgiving-related interactive websites that work great on the SMART Board, let me know and I'll add them to the page.

I'll also add some additional custom Notebook files throughout the week and continue to add images to the Thanksgiving Clip Art page so you don't have to search the Internet to find what you need.

If you have any suggestions for Thanksgiving-themed custom Notebook applications, please let me know.
