Create an I Have/Who Has game Give each student a different subject to research. Have students complete the fact card, tape it to the back, then laminate for a center resource. Create a Guess Who board, posting different facts each day and holding a contest to see who guesses the famous figure. Add each card to a separate page and bound into a class book. Have students write facts on each page. Place a map of the United States on a bulletin board. Display the cards around the map, with a string connecting each card to the state in which the figure was born. Have students organize the cards into categories, such as inventors, activists, sports figures, etc.
