Social studies activities: Strategies to boost learning and student engagement.

If you’re like me, you are always looking for new social studies activities and lesson ideas. It is so easy to get in a rut doing the same thing over and over again. On the other hand, I want to do things that are effective at helping students learn and that don’t take hours for me to prepare.

Traditionally, activities for social studies have included a combination of:

  • Reading Assignments
  • Homework Questions

But social studies instruction can be so much more!

A social studies teacher has many other options available, including:

  • Discussions
  • Online Quiz and Study Helps
  • Primary Source Activities
  • Critical Thinking Exercises

Students generally rate class discussion as a popular and desirable social studies activity.

Discussion seems like it would be among the easiest social studies activities to implement. However, you have probably had the same experience I have where you ask what you think is an interesting and exciting question and all you get back are blank stares. Here are a couple strategies for having more effective discussions:

  • Start with a reading of some kind, preferably short. (My goal is to have no more than 2 pages.) Do the reading together in class. Often, I read to the students, but sometimes I also call on students I know to be good readers as well.
  • Have a focus question for this reading. Share this question before you get started. I often have students write the focus question at the top of the reading. Be sure it is an open ended question.
  • Help students to mark up the reading as it is being read. I point out things I might mark and explain why. I also call on students to volunteer what they would mark in a paragraph and why.
  • Once the reading is finished I have students jot down some preliminary thoughts about the question. I usually tell them that bullet points are fine. No need to write complete sentences (yet).
  • Next I have students discuss with a partner what they have jotted down. This gives them a low stakes way to verbalize their thinking before sharing it with the entire class.
  • Now students are ready to participate in a class discussion of the question. I try to mix it up by calling on volunteers and a few students who do not have hands raised. I try not to put any student on the spot, so if I sense they are having a bad day or are otherwise confused by the reading I don’t call on them.
  • Finally, it is time for students to write. I usually have them write a half page or full page in response to the question. They are welcome to use their own thinking and anything or everything they have heard during the discussion. I rarely have any problems with getting a substantial amount of writing. These writing assignments are usually turned in by the end of the period, so no homework! Students like that. This is a simple to use social studies activity that can be repeated with an endless variety of readings: primary sources, textbook excerpts, web pages, newspaper articles, biographies, and so on.

Social studies activities using online quiz and study helps add an element of gaming, which students enjoy.

I admit that I have been slow to adopt and use technology in my classroom. Most of my social studies activities have involved traditional pencil and paper. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by the wealth of online resources to make teaching and learning more exciting and engaging. Online quiz and study helps are one of my favorites. I use three in particular: Quizlet , Kahoot! , and Quizizz . All three of these have free and paid versions. I have used both the paid and free versions at different times and for different courses. 

Quizlet, for example, allows the teacher to input terms and definitions (or content of any kind). Then the program creates a variety of games and study activities that students can do. I like this because students can select a type of game/activity that appeals to them. Quizlet also has what they call Quizlet Live, which allows you to play whole class games with the content. I believe this is only available in the paid version. Another great thing about all three of these sites is that there are lots of ready-made social studies activities that can be used as is or copied and revised. For example, I created my own set of Quizlets for my American History course, but I selected a set of already made Quizizz activities for my students.

I use Quizlet, Kahoot!, and Quizizz has tools both for students to review and learn on their own as well as in class time. In my state, we have an American History end of course test administered by the state that every student must take. Those test results are used to calculate value-added scores that are used for teacher evaluation. So, I use these tools in class (often for only 5-10 minutes) as a way to have all students practice learning material while I watch. I am not a huge fan to test prep. However, I want students to do the best they can, so I try to use at least a little time to make sure students are working on learning required social studies content.

These social studies activities can bring some variety and increased engagement to the social studies classroom. Of course, activities are not the only thing that makes a successful classroom as the infographic below illustrates.

Activities for Specific Content Areas

In addition to these activities that can be applied to any content area, each social studies field also has a wide variety of possible activities to help students master content and skills. For example, check out some ideas for psychology activities .

Urban students say it's all about good teachers. Corbett and Wilson (2002) stated that students cited their teachers as the most important factor in their learning.

7 Simple Social Studies Activities That Incorporate Reading and Writing

We’re told to embed social studies curriculum into language arts, but what if we flipped that idea around? What if we integrated reading and writing into social studies activities?

Young girl in classroom writing and looking at a globe – Simple Social Studies Activities That Incorporate Reading and Writing

' src=

Is anyone else wondering where social studies went? Teachers are facing time crunches, and dedicated social studies lessons are slowly being squeezed out of our elementary classrooms. We’re told to embed social studies curriculum into language arts, but with very little guidance or materials, it doesn’t always go well. But what if we flipped that idea around? What if we integrated literacy into social studies?

Here are six simple social studies activities for grades K-6 that incorporate reading and writing. Activities are adapted from HMH Kids Discover Social Studies, a curriculum that uses graphic magazines with hands-on lessons and activities to support literacy instruction.

1. Create Good Citizen Posters (The World Around Us, Kindergarten)

After reading , start a discussion with your class by asking questions like these: How can you help people at home? What can you do to take turns in school? How can you show respect for people in the community? Then have your students make posters that show ways to be a good citizen at home, in school, or in the community. Have them share their creations with the class.

2. Write a Class Book About Your Community (Families and Working Together, Grade 1)

Have students make a class book on how geography and climate affects the way we live. Students will find the information to create the pages by reading this magazine about where we live. Ask stud ents to compare their community to another by asking questions (e.g., Is it near water or mountains? Is it on flat land? What is the weather like? How do these things shape the way people in the community live?). Have students draw pictures of people in each place, showing the clothing they wear, food they eat, homes they live in, how they get from one place to another, and the things they do to have fun. Write a sentence under each picture explaining how location and weather shape the way people in the community live. Put all the students’ pictures together to make a book.

3. Make a Chart About U.S. Government Branches (Neighborhoods and Community, Grade 2)

Show students how to make a chart with three columns, one for each branch of the U.S. government. Then have them fill in the columns with information they learn from reading this magazine about leaders and government. The chart should explain the responsibilities of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches and include the names of important positions for each branch. Encourage students to use color and pictures to communicate their ideas.

4. Write an Invitation to Early Settlers (Communities, Near and Far, Grade 3)

Students get show what they’ve learned from reading this magazine about settling the land by imagining they’re early settlers in your community and writing a letter to a friend or relative in another part of the country. Students should invite that person to come and visit by describing the area, explaining why the person might want to settle there.

5. Create a Museum Exhibit About Landforms. (American States and Regions, Grade 4)

Students work in pairs to create museum exhibits and pamphlets after reading this magazine about U.S. landscapes. Have kids imagine they work for a museum that specializes in exhibits about your area and let them create a two-part exhibit. One part is a model of the landforms and bodies of water in your area. The other part is a written report about these features, as well as the climate, plants, and wildlife. You can also ask them to compare your area with other areas. Students can review the information in the magazine, and do additional research as needed.

6. Interview a Historical Figure (United States History, Grade 5)

After reading this magazine about the new nation , students get to pretend they’re star reporters living at the time of the War of 1812. Their first assignment is to interview Francis Scott Key, the person who wrote the poem that would become “The Star Spangled Banner.” One question could be about his experience witnessing the Battle of Fort McHenry. Others might be about specific parts of the poem.

7. Publish an Ancient Newspaper (World History, Grade 6)

First, have students read this magazine about early Rome . Then have them put together an ancient newspaper that
 reports on Ancient Rome. Kids can decide on a clever name for the paper, and choose people, places, and events to include in various sections (e.g., weather report, obituary, biography, articles, etc.). They can illustrate the newspaper with drawings and advertisements that relate to that time.

Let's Cultivate Greatness

Content can be a killer. 

It dominates everything in secondary social studies. But that doesn’t mean it has to be all drill and kill.

While  PBL and thematic units  are my jam, I also know the grind of being held tightly to the standards with a high-stakes test at the end. But having an end-of-course exam doesn’t mean you can’t still spark genuine intrigue and inquiry in your students. I firmly believe (and brain researchers confirm!) that real learning happens in the small daily challenges of an engaging lesson. 

I am sharing my top 12 favorite engaging activities with you. These are easily used across many subject areas, low-prep, and (best of all) re-usable throughout the year. That’s like the holy grail, am I right? They are grouped together into  vocabulary ,  non-verbal ,  kinesthetic , and  comprehension  activities. 

All of these activities, plus a ton more, are available in a  crazy cool and easy-to-use flip deck . I use this ALL THE TIME when I’m penciling in my weekly lessons. If I don’t, things seem to get repetitive and boring really quickly. 

Collection of activity ideas gathered by a ring

Grow their Vocabulary

We all know  vocabulary is central to learning growth . Everything we ask of students involves some aspect of writing, reading, or speaking the “right” words. Even math tests are part reading tests. If your students don’t have the words, they are bound to fail from the start. So let’s practice the words!

Activity 1: Describe A to Z

This one works perfectly at the start or the end of a unit (or both!), depending on how you use it. Regardless of the unit’s topic, there is some broad concept at its core: slavery, democracy, civil rights, war, etc.  On the first day, assign each student a letter of the alphabet, and have them think of a word that starts with that letter based on what they already know or think they know about the concept. It can be a great discussion starter as well as formative assessment of students’ mindsets. 

Alternatively, at the end of the unit assign (or reassign) all the letters and have students select a word based on what they have learned. If you recorded words at the start of the unit this is a great way to show them their growth. 

Activity 2: What’s the Password?

Display a pool of words on your wall. These could be either unit-specific content vocabulary or from a list of  should-know academic words . Whenever a student needs a pencil or wants a bathroom pass or any other type of request, challenge them to use one of the words properly. If you choose academic words, challenge students to find ways to incorporate the words into their discussions and writings.  Would you say he sounds pugnacious?

Activity 3: Roll the Dice

This could be a formal review game in small groups, or an on-the-fly bell ringer or exit activity with a couple selected student in front of the class. Designate each number of a die to a different task related to the concept you are covering. Then, challenge students to roll the dice. Here’s one option:

1 = define the concept 

2 = describe an example of the concept

3 = provide a synonym of the concept

4 = provide an anonym of the concept

5 = draw a picture of the concept

6 = act out the concept

Have the other students guess the term. This is a super easy and interactive way to get them talking about concepts from all sorts of angles. 

Maximize non-verbal strategies

This one is especially important in the high school setting as listening, talking, reading, and writing dominate the curriculum. If we want students to understand new and often-abstract ideas and concepts, then we need to be cognizant of including spatial, visual, and tactile strategies. 

In a study  where participants were asked to memorize a series of words (dog, bike, lemon), those who were encouraged to visualize the words (a dog riding a bike while eating a lemon) could recall the words at a significantly higher rate. Not only are learning deeper and retrieval easier, but the time to learn a new concept is shortened when visuals are included. Talk about a win-win!

Activity 4: Shape the Learning

Stash a pack of pipe cleaners or  tiny tubs of playdough  in your cupboards. Challenge students in pairs or small groups to create something three-dimensional that represents what they have learned. For example, have students shape the one prized possession an Ellis Island immigrant may have packed in their suitcase. Or, an object that represents a right from the Bill of Rights. Endless possibilities!

A popular example of this shaping technique involves  arranging gummies bears  to learn different forms of governments. 

Activity 5: Color It

Find ways to color code reoccurring things through a whole unit or even the whole course, either through your use of colored paper or through students marking text with certain colors. For example, during your WWII unit, code anything about the Axis Powers in one color, Allied Powers in another. 

Or, have students read an extended passage, color-coding for different things, like statistical evidence and quotes, or push and pull factors. 

Or my favorite, copy the same worksheet in different colors, requiring students to get up and find a new partner with a different color for every step. 

Activity 6: Pick an Object

Stash a basket in your classroom with a random assortment of inanimate objects: a basketball, paper clip, lip gloss, sticky notes pad, measuring cup, whatever! Bring it out every once in a while, and have students connect what they have learned to one of the objects. Or ask students which object most represents their understanding at that moment of the lesson or unit, whether it is a mid-unit check-in, or the day before a big project is due. 

Occasionally change out the objects to keep things interesting.   

Get them moving

We know that different parts of the brain store different parts of our knowledge. And now  brain researchers have confirmed  that the brain reconstructs memories by tapping into those cross-brain connections. The more connections (like pairing physical movements with memorizing facts), the stronger the understanding and the easier it is to retrieve the stored information. Not only that, but movement has been found to increase students’ motivation and morale, too! 

Activity 7: This or That

This is as great bell ringer, exit ticket, or mid-class formative check. Pose a forced choice or a “yes” or “no” question and designate each side of the room as the answers. Students walk to the side of the room to express their answer. Once there, challenge students to collaborate and share out the strongest reason for their answer, ask a question of the other side, offer a rebuttal, etc. 

This is so powerful that I will find myself gesturing to the sides of the rooms for the whole rest of the unit when revisiting the topic.  

Questions can be as specific as asking about a certain primary source:  “Do you agree or disagree with the political cartoonist’s message?”

Or questions can be central to your whole unit:  “Was President Jackson a Common Man or an elitist?”  This kind of question is great to revisit a couple of times throughout the unit to see if students’ most recent learning causes them to change their position. Very powerful! 

Activity 8: Walk the Line

This is the next level to “This or That,” yet still super easy to do. 

Head out to the hallway and throw string or masking tape on the floor. Mark one end 100% or Absolutely Yes, mark the other 0% or Absolutely No. Have students express their answer by heading to the spot along the continuum line that represents their feeling. The only difference from This or That is that now you are phrasing your questions so students can quantify their answers:

“How well did President Hoover address the problems of the Great Depression during his administration?”

“How democratic is the Electoral College?”

If students need help identifying amount qualifiers (and most do!), this  continuum line word wall  is a game changer! I couldn’t imagine teaching without up in my classroom.

Activity 9: Expand the Walls 

Think past your classroom walls for where students could complete the day’s lesson: the hallway, gym, sidewalk, commons area, field, or courtyard.   How might those locations actually improve the impact of the lesson?   

Some ideas to get you thinking with common activity options:

Sidewalk or courtyard : completing  chalk talk , concept mapping, or hashtags and six-word novels (see below!) in sidewalk chalk

Hallway:  hosting silent learning stations or  gallery walks

Auditorium seats:  providing extended silent reading 

Gym or cafeteria:  facilitating several simultaneous small-group discussions 

Check for student understanding 

No, this doesn’t mean a drill of questions with single answers. There are so many more open-ended, creative, yet no-prep-time-needed ways to gauge student understanding, while simultaneously expanding it in new ways. If you know Marzano, you know that  summarizing  is one of his 9 High Yield Strategies, but if you simply stop there you really aren’t engaging students. It’s in the making of new meaning that intrigue and deep learning truly happen.

Activity 10: Circle the One

This works great after students have finished reading a longer text or filling in a full-page graphic organizer of notes. Have students zoom out and look at the work as a whole. Then, challenge them to make a decision by selecting one paragraph, sentence, bullet point, piece of evidence, quote, etc. and either circle or highlight. Your challenge should pose a task that includes a decision-making evaluation word:  best/worst, most/least, biggest/smallest, strongest/weakest.

This works so well because students’ answers will vary and sometimes demonstrate pretty out-of-the-box thinking when you ask them to explain.

I use this one all the time so that my students have their evidence and thinking already decided when we head into end-of-unit review and essay outlining.

Activity 11: Six-Word Novel

As the story goes, Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a  six-word novel . He came up with:  “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

While this activity could be used in a variety of contexts, I like using it at the end of a unit. Particularly in my  immigration unit , where we study how to examine history through storytelling.

I assign students to write a six-word novel for one of the immigrant groups we’ve studied and then for immigrant story as a whole. So, so powerful. 

Plus, these are fantastic to display on a bulletin board afterwards. 

Activity 12: #Hashtag

Not too different from the type of creative thinking required for a six-word novel and always a favorite of my students, especially the wittier ones. I like this one because it connects their learning to either something previously learned or to a current event or cultural reference. This activity can also be used as a quick bell ringer or exit ticket, or during a unit review. 

Show a few examples of real-life tweets that model the connection-making, but also the wit that make it a perfectly funny, ironic, or satirical hashtag. Or create some of your own examples using content from a previous unit. 

Have students jot their hashtags down at the top or end of an assignment or along the side of a written text. Now  this  is annotating!

Share the best ones the next day. Their thinking might even provide you some entertaining bulletin board material! 

I hope these activity ideas give you the starting point or reboot you need to be an awesome teacher!

Age and Grade Levels for the Free Leap Year Printables Packet

The Leap Day printables are good for children in mid- to upper elementary and middle school, although they may also work for children both younger and older than that. Since this is a totally free packet, this is a great opportunity to grab the packet and pick and choose to use whatever is appropriate for your children or students.

Children younger than that age range may also enjoy and benefit from the Leap Year Printables Packet. However, they may need some assistance with some of the math-centered sections of the packet. This could be a great opportunity to talk about some of the math as a group rather than having children work on that individually.

How to Grab and Print The Leap Day Printables Set

To find the printable packet, scroll toward the bottom of this post. Just under the terms of use section, you’ll find a graphic and a text link to grab the printable. The text link will say >>>> Grab The Free Leap Year Printables Set <<<<.

The pdf file for the Leap Day Printables Set will open in a new window. Once you open it, you can either print right from there or save the freebie to your computer or device to print later. (I recommend saving and then printing after opening it on your computer or device.)

If you have any printing issues, I have some tips here that can help with a variety of issues that sometimes pop up because of different web browsers or updates.

I recommend printing this packet on regular white printer paper , as there are several pages with colored graphics on them. To save on printing costs, however, the pages will all still look great if you print the packet on white paper and in black and white instead of color.

If you plan to make a whole day out of your Leap Year learning, you could also consider printing on white cardstock and putting in a spiral binding or comb binding . This way, children can save this for later and look at it again in four years, especially because of the Leap Year Time Capsule page.

IRS Urges Americans to Declare Earnings From ‘Illegal Activities and Stolen Property’

Posted: February 23, 2024 | Last updated: February 23, 2024

<p><span>Previously, the IRS had stated that state refunds under TABOR, the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, might be taxable, urging Colorado taxpayers to postpone filing their 2024 taxes until a resolution was reached. </span></p><p><span>This move caused a stir in Colorado’s congressional line-up</span></p>

Social media has been abuzz with reactions to the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) call for taxpayers to disclose earnings from unlawful activities like drug trafficking. 

<p><span>The original deadline of October 16, 2023, was extended at the last minute to November 16, 2023. In tandem, California postponed its deadline for state tax returns to align with the federal extension. This resulted in the state planning its 2023-24 budget without a complete understanding of the impact of recent economic challenges on state revenues. </span></p>

Tax Season Alert

One viral post on X, previously Twitter, shared the 2023 IRS guidelines for tax returns, reminding users, “Don’t forget to report your income from illegal activities and stolen property as you’re doing your taxes this year.” 

<p><span>The 2021 raid targeted Beverly Hills-based US Private Vaults, known for guaranteeing anonymity to its clients. Authorities suspected the company and its patrons of involvement in illegal activities like money laundering, drug trafficking, and running prostitution rings.</span></p>

Illegal Income Must Be Taxed

The IRS makes it clear in their publication 525:  “Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z, or on Schedule C (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.”

<p><span>Trump’s legal team repeats an often-circulated argument relating to election observers being blocked from viewing the votes being counted. In November 2020, a judge ruled against two poll challengers who made this claim, saying they “did not have a full understanding” of the counting process, and that their “interpretation of events is incorrect and not credible.”</span></p>

Stolen Goods and Taxes

For stolen property, the IRS instructs taxpayers to “report its FMV [fair market value] in your income in the year you steal it, unless in the same year you return it to its rightful owner.”

<p><span>Under federal law, a speedy trial “must commence within 70 days from the date the information or indictment was filed, or from the date the defendant appears before an officer of the court in which the charge is pending.” </span></p>

Long-Standing Rule

These guidelines are not a recent development; they have been around at least since the IRS publication 17 in 2021, a time when the topic also gained traction on social media. 

<p><span>California experienced a 25% drop in total income tax collections for the fiscal year 2022-23, a decrease surpassing those of the Great Recession and the dot-com bust. Erin Mellon, the communications director for California Governor Gavin Newsom, explained to Fox News:</span>  <span>“Federal delays in tax collection forced California to pass a budget based on projections instead of actual tax receipts. Now that we have a clearer picture of the state’s finances, we must now solve what would have been last year’s problem in this year’s budget.”</span></p>

The Serious Side of Tax Jokes

Users often jest about the improbability of criminals willingly reporting their illicit income for taxation. However, the humor masks the serious repercussions of violating these IRS rules. 

<p><span>Notorious gangster Al Capone, infamous for numerous crimes, was ultimately imprisoned in 1931 for tax evasion, not his alleged murders. </span></p>

Notorious Gangster’s Downfall

Notorious gangster Al Capone, infamous for numerous crimes, was ultimately imprisoned in 1931 for tax evasion, not his alleged murders. 

<p><span>This alleged immunity could allow Meadows to spill the beans about Trump’s involvement in the reported attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump advisors now refer to Meadows with the rat emoji, Business Insider reported. </span></p>

Capone’s Irony

Capone, who ironically claimed, ‘They can’t collect legal taxes from illegal money,’ was convicted for not filing tax returns that reflected his immense wealth, despite his extravagant lifestyle and having never filed a federal income tax return.

<p><span>Born in 1899 in Brooklyn, New York, to Italian immigrant parents Gabriele Capone and Teresa Raiola, Capone struggled to adapt to his new environment and was expelled from school at 14 for assaulting a teacher. </span></p>

Brooklyn Beginnings

Born in 1899 in Brooklyn, New York, to Italian immigrant parents Gabriele Capone and Teresa Raiola, Capone struggled to adapt to his new environment and was expelled from school at 14 for assaulting a teacher. 

<p><span>In a Thursday interview with </span><i><span>Newsweek</span></i><span>, former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani asserted that swatting is both a federal crime and a criminal offense in several states.</span> <span>Despite the criminalization of swatting in many states, Congress could still allocate additional funds for local law enforcement agencies to track swatters.</span></p>

From Odd Jobs to Organized Crime

Despite trying various odd jobs, Capone eventually gravitated towards crime, influenced by his acquaintance Johnny ‘The Fox’ Torrio, who was later dubbed ‘the father of American gangsterdom’ by Elmer Irey, the inaugural chief of the IRS Enforcement Branch 

<p><span>Addressing the fast-paced rise in winter virus cases, the St. Louis Health Department told employees in a letter, “With activity of winter viruses rising at such a rapid pace, we must take action to slow transmission and prevent strain on our hospital systems.”</span></p>

Rise in Crime

In the background of Al Capone’s extravagant public persona, the feds were quietly putting together a case against him for tax evasion. Capone, despite his wealth, never filed a federal income tax return, asserting he had no income to declare. 

<p><span>Hamilton County Commissioner Alicia Reece has criticized the state’s property tax formula as ‘flawed,’ highlighting that some residents are paying more in property taxes than their mortgage payments.</span></p><p><span>Reece is actively seeking temporary solutions to alleviate the burden of soaring property taxes and high mortgage costs in Hamilton County. </span></p>

The Tax Evasion Breakthrough

The breakthrough came due to IRS Special Agent Frank Wilson and his ‘T-Men,’ who uncovered evidence of Capone’s untaxed millions. Capone was eventually indicted on 22 counts of tax evasion and found guilty on October 17, 1931. 

His subsequent appeal for a rehearing was rejected.
