Laminate the puzzle pieces BEFORE your students cut them out. It will allow you to use them for years to come.

Virtual field trips are an amazing tool to use to take students on fun learning experiences from the comfort of your classroom (or living room during distance learning!).
This virtual field trip is about AMERICAN LANDMARKS, where the students will have the opportunity to explore 9 different landmarks in America. First they will visit Independence Hall, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Monument. Then they will visit Mount Rushmore, the Alamo, the Gateway Arch and the Grand Canyon. Finally, they will go and learn more about the Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate Bridge
As the students go through the virtual field trip, they will be asked to complete an accompanying* scavenger hunt* by answering open-ended questions about the different places they are exploring.

When I use this in my classroom as a whole class activity, the students usually work in groups of three, so I use about 10 viewers. However, you can also use it as a part of a station rotation activity, so you would only need a couple of viewers.

MEMORY (MATCHING) GAME is a fun and motivating game for children and students of all ages. There are tons and tons of ways to use your own matching games in your classroom.
This editable template will let you create your own memory cards for any grade level or subject. This resource contains an PowerPoint file, with detailed instructions on how to edit and print the memory cards.
I have designed the file to work in 3 different sizes and/or shapes, including different backside designs. The template can be reused over and over again.
Please note that this is NOT an interactive memory game. It is a memory game which need to be printed before students can play with the memory cards physically.
Have fun exploring!
