Objective: Create a 3 cell storyboard that describes and illustrates 3 interesting facts about Colorado.
Student Instructions:
Engage students by turning Colorado trivia into an exciting scavenger hunt! Hide fact cards around the room and have students search for them, encouraging movement and teamwork while reviewing key facts.
Create simple cards, each with a different Colorado fact and a colorful illustration or symbol. Use index cards or printouts to make them durable and visually appealing for your students.
Place cards in various locations—under desks, near windows, or on bookshelves. Vary the level of difficulty based on your students' ages to keep the activity challenging but fun.
Explain the boundaries, how many cards each student or pair should find, and what to do once they've collected their cards. Emphasize safety and teamwork to ensure a smooth activity.
Invite students to share the facts they found and discuss why each one is interesting or important. Reinforce learning by connecting facts to the storyboard assignment or other Colorado studies.
Colorado is full of cool facts! It's called the “Centennial State” because it became a state 100 years after the Declaration of Independence. Denver is known as the “Mile-High City” since it's exactly one mile above sea level, and Colorado has 53 mountain peaks over 14,000 feet—more than any other state!
To make a 3 cell storyboard about Colorado, have students pick three fun facts, write each as a heading, add a short summary, and draw a picture that matches each fact. This helps students organize and share what they've learned in a creative way.
Colorado is called the Centennial State because it became a state in 1876, exactly 100 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Denver is special because it's exactly 5,280 feet above sea level, making it the famous “Mile-High City.” This unique elevation influences its climate and culture.
A fourteener is a mountain peak over 14,000 feet tall. Colorado has 53 of these impressive peaks, more than any other state in the U.S.!
