Columbus Day is next Monday, October 14th, so I thought it might be handy to have a list of resources for everyone! These cover a variety of ages, and range from fun to highly educational-beyond the typical covering in school.
*Edit-I was torn on doing a lesson about Columbus. While I was mulling my options, the post auto-published. I thought about taking the entire thing down, but instead, I'll just share THIS. Please read it-NOT AROUND CHILDREN. Another good read HERE.*
- Video-NatGeo-3 minutes, best for older students
- Maze-Education.com*
- How to fold a newspaper sailor's hat
- Boat races-possible group activity, blends shapes and math
- Songs for Columbus Day-popular tunes rewritten for Columbus Day, great for little ones
- Extracts from Columbus's journal-high school age reading
- Fast Facts-includes links to other activities
- Columbus Day Printables-the motherload! Beverly at Homeschool Journeys has made a packet of great worksheets and activities for Columbus Day that range from preschool to middle school. PDF
Happy discovering!
*While Education.com does have for-pay membership, a free account allows a limited number of worksheet downloads monthly.*
