European Explorer Scavenger Hunter (No Prep!)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that is based on European explorers that are studied in the 4th grade curriculum. Students will read about Christopher Columbus, Juan Ponce de León, Jacques Cartier, John Cabot, Henry Hudson, Giovanni da Verrazzano, Hernando de Soto, and Samuel de Champlain. This activity will have students reading about what country the explorer sailed for, what part of the Americas they explored and how their exploration affected later colonization or knowledge of the Americas. Check out the preview to see what each task card entails. Students will need to walk around the room reading the task cards. Each task card has a code word on the bottom which is the answer to the question/fill in the blank. The answer will NOT be found on that same task card. For example, the answer to task card #1 is found by reading the passage on task card #8. Students MUST record which task card they found the answer on in their answer sheet under the “FOUND CARDS #” column. That column will be used at the end for the 4 digit lock code. They will follow the clues to find the correct 4 digit code.
This activity would be a great review before assessments, as a center activity, a group activity, etc. Students will be engaged with the learning while having a fun time trying to solve all of the clues!

Geography: 99 Red Balloons: A Study of the Cold War
By Geography & Math Made Easy
LESSON: 99 RED BALLOONS: A STUDY OF THE COLD WAR
GRADE LEVEL: 6-9th
TIME FRAME: 90 MINUTES
TYPE OF ACTIVITY: GROUP COOPERATION
This lesson makes what could be a boring topic to students very interesting, fun, and interactive! Who doesn't like red balloons?
OBJECTIVE:
o Students will explore the anti-war song “99 Red Balloons”. Known in German as “99 Luftballoons”.
o Students will understand the events surrounding the Cold War.
o Students will become familiar with individuals involved in the Cold War.
o Students will examine the conflict between the two major world powers: the United States and the USSR.
MATERIALS:
o Lyrics and audio to the American song: “99 Red Balloons”.
o Lyrics and audio to the German song: “99 LuftBalloons”.
o One Red Balloon for each team.
o Ribbon (Enough for each group to receive a yard of ribbon)
o Enough computers for each team, library books, articles, etc. for research.
o 4x5 index cards—SIX for each group.
PREPARATION:
o Divide the classroom into groups of two. I encourage two to cover as many of the terms as possible. If you wish to have more terms covered, you may have each student complete one assignment.
o Your school may own a helium tank or have the school purchase it. May be cheaper to go to Walmart, Dollar Tree, or another store to purchase these balloons if the school cannot cover the cost of a tank. You may also consider having other teachers who would like to use this idea go in together to purchase it. PTA is sometimes willing to purchase these items. Places like Michael’s or Joann’s provide coupons to purchase items 40-50% off. Provide one balloon per group. (You may or the school may purchase a party helium balloon.)
Alternative to helium balloons: If you are unable to obtain red helium balloons, a reproducible balloon is provided in this lesson. Have the students color the balloon red, or reproduce it on red paper. You will be able to staple the ribbon to the balloon and students can still complete this activity.
INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)
Students will listen to the song "99 Red Balloons" and will evaluate the meaning behind the lyrics.
Write on the Board:
Reasons for the Cold War

NEW! Geography, History, 9-11 We Remember, World Trade Center, Patriot Day
By Geography & Math Made Easy
IMPORTANT: Give students the option to choose not to participate in this lesson if they are anyway connected to the event. Let them know in advance earlier in the week prior to the day of the lesson and allow them to come to you in confidentiality if they wish not to participate. Make another arrangement for that student for the one class period.
This is a factual lesson and does not ask students to imagine or place themselves in others' shoes, yet if a child had a family member or experienced the event his/herself, you may not want to subject them to ANY lesson on this topic. This lesson gives a timeline of events and facts about the event.
ALSO NOTE: The closing activity incorporates a song by the Beastie Boys: "Listen, All You New Yorkers" which was written after 9/11 as a Love Letter to New York. (Look it up on Youtube) Depending on your classroom/school culture, you may or may not choose to use this. This is not mandatory for the lesson, but song and music is a good way to engage students. In saying this, the lyrics included in the lesson have been rewritten to take out questionable wording/content. i.e. LSD, Porno, Hell. These words have been replaced with other words. However, the words cannot be taken out of the Youtube video or song. The lyrics can be used without the video or song, but will not be as effective. IMPORTANT: YOU WILL WANT TO LISTEN TO THE SONG PRIOR TO PURCHASE as this song may not be appropriate for all students/classes/schools. You as the educator are responsible for gaging what is appropriate for your students and are responsible for what is presented to them.
THIS LESSON CAN BE USED WITHOUT THE SONG as it is the closing activity.
OBJECTIVE:
o The learner will become familiar with the events that lead to the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York
o The learner will work in a cooperative group to read about the attack on the World Trade Center outlines in a timeline of the events of the day.
o 10 Facts Cards for the Introduction (Included & Optional
o The learner will understand the impact of this event on the life of an individual through discussion.
o Index cards for questions.
o The learner will listen or watch and then examine the lyrics to the song: A letter to New York: Listen, All You New Yorkers by the Beastie Boys, 2004.
MATERIALS:
o Student group reading assignment included.
o Copy of Lyrics to Listen, All You New Yorkers (included) Rewritten into a cleaner version to replace words like: hell, LSD, Porno, etc.
o Suggested YouTube video for viewing (or) YouTube or Spotify audio version.
Please note that links often change. If this happens, please type in the title of the video in a search engine or on You-
Tube; it should easily be located. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way around this issue. Please watch and use your discernment
on the appropriateness of the presentation for your students, their experiences, and their maturity levels.
o Technology to play the song or show the video.
o Index cards for the “Question Cards” for the reading assignment.
THIS LESSON INCLUDES:
o Detailed Teacher Guide
o Intro Activity
o Reading Activity
o Closing Activity.
