How do they work?
Students answer a multiplication question.
As the multiplication questions are answered, a “mystery picture” starts to be revealed with each correct answer.
How cool is that?!
Want to know how it works?
If a student answers incorrectly, the box turns red and part of the picture doesn’t appear.
If a student answers correctly, the box turns green, and the mystery picture surfaces!
These goodies work great on Google Classroom using Google Sheets.
I also have a free multiplication color-by-number that you can send to kids to print (click here to download!).
This one also works if you are doing a hybrid model and are teaching in the classroom.
This is a great one to help foster a sense of classroom community!
Now, this is not a physical book.
Each student will create an “I am thankful” page, then contribute to a class “book.”
Make an example page first so that students get a better idea of what they are creating!
You could write, “I am thankful for my talented and smart students.”
Then, add illustrations through Google Image Search or uploading your own pictures.
Ask students to send their page to you.
You will insert all the slides into one slideshow, and make a cute “book cover” that says “Our Class is Thankful.”
Then, assign the book back to students!
Students will LOVE flipping through the “book” and see what their classmates are thankful for.
If you want to make this interactive, make the “book” editable to all students, and students can write notes on the side to their classmates.
Y’all there are so dang many great Thanksgiving books.
Teaching over a computer does not mean that you can’t do a read-aloud!
This is a great way to start every morning leading up to Thanksgiving to help get the kids feeling some comfort.
Their Thanksgiving may look very different this year, give them familiarity with books that they may already know and enjoy.
Some of my FAVORITES (these are Amazon Affiliate links):
If you want to make the read-alouds more interactive, have kids compare and contrast two of the books that you read!
Do you have other digital Thanksgiving activities that you’ll be doing this year with your students?
