Description
This Memorial Day Color by Number and Text Marking activity is the perfect way to bring life to the topic! Students read a non-fiction passage and search for answers while marking evidence from the text. Perfect reading comprehension activity.
Topics include: Facts about Memorial Day and to honor those who sacrificed their lives.
Students complete a “before reading” anticipation guide, read about Memorial Day, answer questions, mark the text for evidence, color the picture according to their answer, and complete the “after reading” anticipation guide.
This is a great cross curriculum activity that also practices Language Arts skills and citing evidence. You can use this activity to assess prior knowledge. You can use this activity as a unit review. Lastly, you could use the student worksheet as a quiz or formative and then let them color as a reward! You choose what works best for you.
This is a fun, colorful activity that allows students to show mastery while relaxing, learning and coloring in their answers. This is also perfect for emergency sub plans! Hang the finished product in the hall for teachers and students to stop and admire.

Mrs G in Elementary –
I love these color by code activities for Social Studies. Students need to read informational text, answer questions, and highlight text evidence within the text. My students are usually actively engaged in this activity, especially when they do it with a partner.
Jill Marie Nicholson –
This resource was very helpful to my unit. Students were successful. My students love these.
Samantha M. –
WE LOVE THESE!!! They make learning fun and students are so engaged in the material.
Jebsma –
This was a great resource, but had more components than I thought and therefore didn’t leave enough time for it all. I’ll use it again next year, but over 3 classes rather than 2.
