This social studies activity may be used for elementary aged students. Students will enjoy reading, cutting and pasting, word searching, and creating stick puppets. These activities may be copied and used as a 2-3 day independent work center, in whole group, or for individual student work. Print copies, and add scissors, glue, crayons, and popsicle sticks. Stick puppets may be copied on card stock. The puppets can also be used as response cards in whole group.
