Word Search Benefits

• Vocabulary: introduces learners to new words and their meanings, which can help to expand their vocabulary.
• Spelling: teaches the correct spelling of words.
• Visual perception: students scan a grid and identify patterns, which can help to improve their visual perception skills.
• Problem-solving: helps students develop problem-solving skills by challenging them to find words that are hidden in a grid.
• Focus: Word searches can help students focus and concentrate, which can be helpful for other academic tasks.
• Memory: helps improve memory by requiring students to remember the words that they have already found.

33 Jigsaw pieces showing opposites with words and pictures.

Why do you need this?

Learning opposite words help expand students' vocabulary by introducing them to antonyms. By seeing and matching words and pictures representing opposites, students gain a deeper understanding of language and develop their word recognition skills.

Jigsaw puzzles are inherently interactive and engaging. Students actively participate in the learning process as they match the pieces together to form pairs of opposites. This hands-on approach promotes active engagement and enhances comprehension.

These could be used as a one off activity or for continual and regular use I would suggest cutting them out and laminating them to make them more durable.

How and when might you use this?

This activity can be used in a variety of ways:

· Introduction to opposites

· Vocabulary building

· Interactive learning centers

· Reinforcement of previous learning

· Assessment

· Literacy games and activities

What is included?

Included are 33 jigsaw puzzles showing the words: hot/cold, big/small, empty/full, tall/short, happy/sad, thick/thin, open/close, inside/outside, young/old, wet/dry, dirty/clean, fast/slow, short/long, sweet/sour, asleep/awake, day/night, boy/girl, light/dark, loud/quiet, up/down, high/low, behind/in front, heavy/light, stand/sit, laugh/cry, tidy/messy, black/white, hard/soft, sick/healthy, push/pull, fat/thin, on/off, left/right.

Fun, engaging book activity:

This project is a fun way to keep students engaged in reading leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday. You can establish this activity by reading the book "Balloons Over Broadway" by Melissa Sweet. This helps students understand the concept of Balloons at a parade.

Teachers can determine whether students will decorate an actual balloon or just designing a balloon. Instructions are included for both activities.

A question booklet containing questions about character and setting is provided. Students will make real world connections between their character and themselves. There are three versions of this booklet each with its own type of handwriting lines.

Students will love showing off their creation in a class parade!

What's included:

• Teacher instructions.
• Supply list.
• Links to supply inspiration.
• Two versions of the student directions.
• Balloon design template.
• Tags for display.
• Character and Setting Question Booklet (3 handwriting line versions)

How is this product useful:

• Engaging activity before a holiday.
• Students will use their creativity.
• Links to make getting supplies easier.
• Questions help students make real world connections.

This is such a fun creative writing activity. This activity has students work in a small group to create a fun and unique story. They will be passing around their writing outline to their group of 5. The first student will choose a character and their characteristics. Then fold the paper down so the next student cannot see what they have written. Student 2 will decide the setting and then fold the paper down again. This will continue to student 3 and 4 where they will choose the conflict and the solution. Then the original student will get their paper back and open their paper and use their outline to create their own creative story. This makes the writing a little bit challenging as they try to create a story that was chosen by their fellow classmates. This can also be a super fun and creative way to expand students writing by stretching them a little outside their comfort zone.
