VA is for Bloggers - Southern Hospitality Freebie Blog Hop

Virginia is for Lovers Bloggers!


A lovely group of Virginia bloggers would like to help usher in the new school year by extending a bit of southern hospitality.  You can follow along the blog hop to visit 20+ Virginia teacher blogs for terrific teaching tips and fun freebies to help get your new school year off to a great start.

I hate reading other people's product advertisements so I won't make you suffer through mine. If you'd like to check out some of my paid products (and many more freebies) you can visit my TPT store HERE.

Now on to the good stuff!

Anyone like the game Apples to Apples? Well I do! And if you know how to play Apples to Apples you're going to love this....

I created this EXCLUSIVE FREEBIE for you just for visiting today. In my game, Apples and Bananas, students will discuss the different historical figures they have previously studied and compare them to modern day community helpers. Students can use this Sentence Frame to help structure their responses.

For example,
"Jackie Robinson (Apple) is similar to a Firefighter (Banana) because he had to be brave to be the first African American baseball player in the major leagues."

Another great thing about this game is that it features this realistic clipart from another Virginia Blogger, The Meek Moose!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will consider following me on Bloglovin', and let me know if you're new so that I can follow you too!


Don't stop here! There is more Virginia Love to be had! The next stop on the hop is...
