Are your students talking about the Big Game? Football has a different level of appeal now that Taylor Swift plans to attend!
Here are 5 ideas to integrate a Big Game/Taylor Swift theme into your lessons:
1. Creative Writing
Have students write a story where they get to attend the Big Game. Provide time for students to share their stories.
2. Character Education
Set up a station where students can make friendship bracelets for others. Students can use inspirational and good sportsmanship words.
3. Biographies
This station will include books about football players and musicians. Check your school library and the children's section at your local library for books. Thrift shops are another option! Here are a few you may consider:
Who Was Peyton Manning? by Kirsten Anderson
Who Is Tom Brady? by James Buckley Jr.
Who Is Taylor Swift? by Kirsten Anderson
Who Was Louis Armstrong? by Yona Zeldis McDonough
Who Were the Beatles? by Geoff Edgers
Students can complete a mini biography book report after they read.
4. Cultural Connections
5. Puzzles
Students can complete word searches and other puzzles relating to Taylor Swift and football. For an extra challenge, provide blank grid paper for students to create their own.
6. Math Word Problems
Students can practice various math skills by completing math problems related to the singer and the big game! A scoot setup would work perfectly! Place one task card on each desk. Play some Taylor Swift music as students roam about the room. When the music stops, students go to a desk and complete the problem on the card. Go over the answers.
