This site is FULL of interactive educational activities to do as a class or for individual research: slavery, The American Civil War, log cabins, Word Searches, Crosswords and a Jigsaw Puzzle. There is a picture gallery and a 10 question quiz! If you are preparing for the 200th birthday of Lincoln, President’s Day, or research on the 16th president - don’t miss this site.
In the Classroom
This site takes out a lot of the "leg work" for teachers. Use your interactive whiteboard or projector to share the online quiz, animated activities, pictures, and more. Have students complete the online activities in cooperative learning groups. Challenge students to write their own questions to "Honest Abe."
At Home
As a rainy day activity, go through the pictures and other activities at this site about Abraham Lincoln with your younger children. The treasure hunt and animations will keep the children enthralled!
