SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

This is a fun Halloween Candy Game to count the calories in popular Halloween candy. Just drag pieces of candy into the pumpkin’s mouth to see how quickly the calories climb. The pumpkin will let you know if he likes it or if he’s had too much. Enjoy!

Learning about plants, food, or farming? Check out The Potato Story. This site contains four interactive modules, including quizzes and animations, as well as information for parents and teachers.  I’d like to highlight the Growing Plants Game. Students must sequence the stages of plant growth as quickly as possible. Please make sure you check out the Lifecycles section too. The entire site is worth a look!

SpinandSpell.com is a wonderful spelling interactive game for the SMART Board. There are five different picture/word banks to choose from: In and Around the Home, What We Wear, What We Eat, How We Get There, and The Animal Kingdom. Choose a category and click on a picture (or “Show me the Word”) to hear the word spoken aloud. Click or touch the first letter of the word, the wheel will spin, and your letter will appear below. Continue until the word is spelled and click Submit to see if it was spelled correctly. This is great for all ages because the difficulty varies based on the picture/word chosen. Have fun!
