Student Instructions:
Boost student engagement by turning fact-finding into a lively competition. This activity encourages students to explore resources, work together, and discover new information about Georgia in a fun way.
Promote collaboration by grouping students into teams of 3–4. Teamwork helps every student participate and share ideas as they hunt for facts.
Provide a simple list of clues or questions about Georgia (e.g., 'Find the name of Georgia's largest city' or 'List a famous event that took place in Atlanta'). Clear tasks guide students in their search.
Keep the activity focused by announcing a 15–20 minute limit. Time management makes the scavenger hunt energetic and exciting.
Bring students together to share what they found. Discuss new facts and recognize creative or surprising answers to foster a love of learning.
Georgia is full of interesting trivia! For example, it is the largest state east of the Mississippi River, Atlanta has over 50 streets named “Peachtree,” and Berry College in Georgia has the world’s largest college campus. Students love learning these unique Georgia facts!
To teach about Georgia, have students create a 3-cell storyboard. In each cell, they write a fun fact, summarize it, and illustrate it. This hands-on activity makes learning Georgia facts engaging and memorable.
The best way is through interactive projects like creating storyboards, using colorful illustrations, and sharing quirky facts (like the chicken law in Quitman!). These approaches help students connect with Georgia state history in a fun way.
Georgia is nicknamed the Goober State because it grows a large amount of peanuts, also known as 'goobers.' The state is famous for its peanut farms and production.
Students can draw maps showing Georgia’s size, sketch Atlanta’s Peachtree streets, or illustrate Berry College’s campus. Using characters, fun scenes, and local symbols makes the project more creative and educational.
