Extension Activities

As teachers we teach unit plan after unit plan to make sure we teach all the required standards in our classrooms. However, there are days as teachers we have to be flexible because we are sick, or plans change, etc. These days teachers need classroom activities that can have students learn and be engaged but require little effort from a teaching stand point. Us Tech Twins pride ourselves in creating some fun extension activities for our classrooms and we know these materials are compatible for other classrooms too.

Tips for Extension Activities:
  1. Have clear instructions for students to be able to complete the work without your assistance.
  2. Make it engaging for the class being taught. For example if it is a Computer class have them go on a computer basics scavenger hunts. If its Entrepreneurship have them watch a shark tank episode and reflect on the episode.
  3. Create at least 10 extension activities to cover the days that you aren't able to teacher the typical curriculum. 
  4. Make sure the work on the activity is enough to take up the entire class period.
 
Listed below are some activities we make:
  1. Internet Scavenger Hunts
  2. Website Explores
  3. Video Reflections
  4. Vocabulary Crossword and Scavenger Hunts
