Try this interactive bulletin board on your 1-6th Graders. It tests their knowledge on location of the world’s Continents and Oceans. Relatively simple to make:
Materials:
□ Bulletin Board or empty wall space
□ A large World Map with or without labels
□ Labels for each Continent and Ocean (Options: Computer and printer, construction paper, markers, glue, glitter, etc.) Students can even help create this part of the board.
□ Velcro with Sticky on one side
□ Three Envelopes (Labeled Oceans, Continents and Check Your Answers)
□ A small sheet of paper with the correct answers on it: (I suggest taking a picture of the map with the labels in place, print the picture and insert it into the “Check Your Answers” envelope.)
□ Use this fun quiz during free time, centers or as extra credit.
□ Laminator (optional)
□ Banner Paper
□ Create a title for the board
Assembly:
1. Attach Banner Paper to Bulletin Board
2. Laminate the map and labels.
3. Place a small strip of Velcro on the back of each label and its counterpart on the map where it belongs.
4. Attach map to center of Bulletin Board.
5. Label envelops and attach centered toward the bottom of the board.
6. Attach the title for the board at the top.
7. You may want to attach a border around the outside of the board to give it a finished look.
How to Play:
The student takes a label from the envelope labeled continents or oceans. The student then places the label on the appropriate Velcro spot on the map. When the student feels their answers are correct, they can check their answers by taking the piece of paper out of the “Check Your Answers” envelope.
Teacher’s Note:
I really enjoy using this board in my classroom because it is entirely student directed. I use it as a center primarily. The students enjoy testing each other and timing themselves to see who can do it faster. I leave a stop watch near to board and let them come up with the timing idea on their own. Enjoy!
