Research Fun With The PebbleGo Fortune Tellers!

Our friends at Capstone have done it again!  

They have created something super special for our young researchers and readers just in time to kick off a fun new year of learning!  
Do you remember the little paper things we folded up and put our fingers and thumbs in to then lift a flap and reveal a fortune?  

Guess what?  Capstone has created some for us to use in our libraries and classrooms!  

With the PebbleGo Fortune Tellers, students will choose a category from one of the four PebbleGo databases and lift the flap to reveal a question.  They will then use PebbleGo to research the answer.  

There is a PebbleGo Fortune Teller for four of the databases including...
 Animals, 
 Biographies, 
 Science and...
Social Studies.  

There are so many ways the PebbleGo Fortune Tellers could be used.  They would be the perfect to kick off research and learning all about the different databases of PebbleGo.

They could be used at the end of a lesson or day to explore PebbleGo individually, in a small group or even as a class.

And what a fun thing to send home as a parent/child activity!  I know parents would be very impressed with all of the research and learning skills that shine through when our students use PebbleGo.  
You will find the PebbleGo Fortune Tellers in the Teacher Resources button at the bottom of the 4 different databases listed above.
 Go to Teacher Resources and look for the Fortune Tellers under Reproducibles.  
 You can add the Login and Password at the top before you print it off.
You can also Create Your Own Fortune Teller.  You can type in the boxes from the internet before you print them off.  

It is really fun and easy to create for your students too.
