Geography: Central America Tic-Tac-Toe Activity (Middle and High School)
By Geography and Math Made Easy

Need a new fun activity to have students to research South America? Put a little twist in your lesson and have students play Tic-Tac-Toe while learning about South America. This lesson will not only give students autonomy and choices in what they learn, but will also create a fun way to have students complete research on South American government, economics, geography, and culture. Students will receive a Tic-Tac-Toe board with multiple questions, 2 per square. Students will choose one question or activity from each Tic-Tac-Toe square to form a Tic-Tac-Toe horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You may have students complete up to two Tic-Tac-Toe boards without answering the same question twice. If time is limited, you may shorten the lesson by having students complete only one Tic-Tac-Toe. Students may work individually or with a partner or group to complete the research assignment. This lesson comes with a zip file that includes: • Tic-Tac-Toe Student Activity • Teacher Guide • Listening Activity • Thinking Map Guide Student Copy • Easy to use with students who have had absences Needed: • Notebook paper/Report folder/writing utensils/drawing paper • Computers if available • Rulers • Internet access for research • Library resources that would help with answering the questions, such as encyclopedias and books on Central America Note: based on your computer and the version of your Word program the formatting of the Word file may off and not as originally created.
