Who Sailed the Ocean Blue?

Monday was Columbus Day!

If your school does not have off for Columbus Day, how will you celebrate the holiday?

Instead of telling the same story each year, that does not involve critical thinking skills, try a new activity that will expand children's minds. If you need ideas, you should take a look at this blog.

One activity I personally liked was one similar to the game "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"
This game not only challenges the students, but it also makes it rewarding for the students. Each question the student gets correct they move up a step and gain more pseudo money, but when they get a question wrong it tells you the correct answer and you must start over at 0. This game is called From Rags to Riches. I personally really enjoyed this activity and ended up winning the $1,000,000!
