Social Studies Word Wall

Description

Social Studies Word Wall

This product is a word wall to help teach important social studies vocabulary words to upper elementary or middle school students.

The specific regions included are Europe, Australia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Canada. However, the domains include geography, government, economy, and history, so this resource can be used in most social studies classrooms.

Each word card includes the vocabulary word, definition, and a visual representation of the word, so students can make a connection between the word and meaning. I have also included a template you can use to create additional cards that you can use in your own classroom.

This product includes: 26 letter cards (each decorated with a flag representing a country that begins with that letter, except the letter ‘X’ as there are not any countries that begin with that letter. The flag of Luxembourg has been used) and 187 vocabulary word cards associated with Europe, Latin America, Canada, & Australia’s geography, government, history, and economy. Please scroll down to see list of included vocabulary words.
