Let’s be honest—sometimes Social Studies can feel a little… well, dry. But it doesn’t have to! If you’re teaching your students about how Florida became a state, I’ve got just the thing to bring that history to life—an engaging, low-prep task card activity that your students will actually enjoy.
This resource is all about Florida’s Road to Statehood and it’s the perfect way to get students up, moving, and learning important content without even realizing they’re doing “work.”
Here’s how it works:You can post the 18 informational task cards around the room gallery-walk style, or place them in the center of each group for a quieter, station-based setup. Students rotate through the cards and use them to answer questions on the corresponding worksheet. It’s interactive, kid-friendly, and best of all—it takes minimal effort on your part!
What’s Included:
✅ 18 Informational Task Cards
✅ 1 Student Worksheet
✅ 1 Answer Key for easy grading or review
It’s a simple switch from the usual routine, but it can make a big difference in student engagement. Whether you’re kicking off your Florida History unit or reviewing before a test, this activity is a total win.
