How to use Clipart: Group of Icons (Chapter 9)
This is the chapter for the bunch of clipart items you have.
The Ideas
Idea #1: Magic Tricks Addition
Clipart: Magician Things
Skill: Addition/Worksheet
Notes: In this style of worksheet, each clipart is tied to a question. Students answer each question to ‘collect’ the items. You also can put each item on a task card and use the worksheet as a recording sheet.
Idea #2: Halloween Graphing
Clipart: Halloween Things
Skill: Graphing
Notes: Graphing requires only a smaller set of items. With any group of 3/4/5 items, you can create a graphing activity.
Idea #3: Where’s Santa Hide and Seek
Clipart: Christmas Things
Skill: Sight Words
Notes: You can create hide and seek activities for many skills (alphabet, phonics, number sense, addition, etc). You just need to pick a ‘key’ item/character out of group to be the item that hides.

Clipart: Bugs
Skill: Ordinal Numbers

Skill: Odd or Even
Notes: This is very similar to Idea #7, just for a slightly different skill.
