We know simulation, role-playing, and other forms of creative play are effective elements in social studies lessons every single day, and not just on Halloween. That is Discovery Education’s focus with our #ExperienceHistory hashtag and our Social Studies Techbook materials–making history interactive, engaging, and accessible for students. But we knew lots of teachers would show their Halloween spirit today, and we asked teachers to tweet photos of history-related costumes, and here’s a sampling of their contributions!
Check back as we update this page with new photos! Tweet us more costume pics with the #ExperienceHistory hashtag!
