Even More Goods and Services Worksheet Activities 

This word search is an excellent task for fast finishers! But you can also use this game to create additional opportunities for active learning, lesson reviews, comprehension assessments, and more. 

🖍️ Giant Word Search

Project this worksheet onto your whiteboard during your social studies lessons, and have students take turns walking up to the board to circle the words. 

🧢 Charades 

Write each word on a piece of scrap paper, fold them up, and put them into a container. To play, divide your class or small group into two teams. Teams will take turns sending up one student to choose a word from the bowl and get 30 seconds to act out the word soundlessly for their team. If no one guesses the word, it goes back into the bowl, and no point is given. Once every student has had their turn to act out a word, the game is over, and the group with the highest points wins. 

✏️ Sentence Writing

Have students practice writing full sentences with words from the list. As a challenge, see how many sentences they can write that use more than one of the words.
