Third Grade Classroom Activities in Exploring Social Studies
As students reach third grade, the standards in this curriculum becomes higher thus, there are more expectations that students should meet. The lessons of social studies in history, government and geography is one of the most difficult subjects that the students have due to the fact that they are required to memorize facts and develop a good study habit. Teachers should provide their students with enjoyable activities in order to maintain the learners' attention to be able to grasp the knowledge fully. There are various ways on how a discussion can be fun and interesting on the part of both the teacher and the student. Teachers can integrate and use modern technologies such as multimedia in their discussion. Here are other activities that can be used in exploring social studies:
Map for Direction
Third graders are expected to know how to read maps and understand the need for using this material. Mapping activities can help students know the right direction and how to locate certain objects with the use of compass and other mapping gadgets. Kids loves Dora's map—from Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer—and it is used to reach a certain location wherein a particular object or event can be found. Teachers can make a classroom activity that will make students think critically while roaming around the school or classroom vicinity. Teachers can place an object on top of the table and ask students to draw their own map that will help them reach the certain object. This will test students' creativity as well as imagination with regards to social studies.
Flash Cards
Okay, this may sound a little bit traditional. But hey, teachers can make modern games out of the old ones. Instead of showing students the conventional flash cards, teachers can these flash cards to play new games such as showing students five different cards and will ask them to tell their own story based on what they see in the pictures. The teacher will re-arrange the cards and ask another student to tell his or her version of story. Teachers can also show pictures of costumes and countries and ask students to tell what country is that. This can help enhance students' mental ability as well.
President Memory Game
There are several U.S. presidents that is why it is difficult for most students to remember them all as well as their contribution to the country. Teachers can show pictures of US presidents to students in order for them to recognize the former presidents' faces and distinguishable characteristics. Teachers can ask students to group themselves into three. Then they will be given pictures of the US presidents and students will write the name of the president on one side and the vital contribution of the president on the other side.

Is there a network for social studies teachers to share ideas and lessons?
I am a new 8th grade social studies teacher and I am interested in networking with other social studies teachers. I would like to exchange lessons, project ideas, movie suggestions, web sites, etc.
Does this sort of network already exist?
I just stumbled on an INCREDIBLE teaching resource for grades PreK - 8th grade. It's called ProTeacher.
www.proteacher.net
There is a board specifically for 8th grade, and one specifically for Social Studies. The resources and people are amazing! I posted a question about my math program and within an hour had several answers posted. It's free, fast, and open 24 hours!
The boards and chats and blogs and discussions are incredibly helpful, and fun to engage in.
Good luck!
