Summary: Social Studies Activities Kids Can't Resist: 40 Sensational
Comment: This book contains a wide variety of activities that will make social studies fun. I love the materials list for each activity and the authors created templates or gave examples for all of the projects. While the title states there are 40 ideas, the "alternative activities" sections easily double that number. The ideas are open-ended and teachers will find a million ways to use these easy-to-follow ideas. Any elementary teacher who needs to add sparkle to a lesson will find this book a great investment!

Summary: Not Just Social Studies Activities!
Comment: I teach fifth grade, and my students had gotten bored with the same social studies activities. Then I stumbled across this book. This book's activites teach more than just social studies skills. Math, art and creative writing are part of a number of these lessons.

My students have enjoyed making historical biography paper dolls. This activity has students make paper dolls with clothes that would be appropriate for the time in history being studied. Then they write a brief biography about their doll describing the doll's daily live experiences.

Another popular activity was 'I won!'. Each student wins an imaginary $10,000 trip for two. Students can choose where they want to go. Then research how much their trip will cost and create a budget.

With activites like these, I don't dread teaching social studies any more!

Summary: A wonderful resource
Comment: It can be difficult to think of new and creative ideas when teaching students fulltime. Yet, when you have resources like this book, you have a place to look for creative ideas. This book is a wonderful resource for teachers who want their children to learn through personal experience.

I highly recommend this book for classroom teachers.
