The GeoSafari Mineral Collection contains twelve samples of common minerals, complete with an identification chart and information guide. The minerals in this collection range from calcite (a major ingredient in mixing cement) and halite (otherwise known as rock salt, often used in our food!), to the more visually remarkable, but still common sulfur and quartz, among others.

This activity kit includes a storage tray containing large pieces of 12 kinds of igneous rock: scoria, pumice, gabbro, tuff, rhyolite, diorite, granite, andesite, basalt, obsidian, pegmatite, and porphyry. The kit also includes a guide to the formation of igneous rocks, which are created when magma or lava cools and solidifies into rock. The guide describes the two kinds of igneous rock – intrusive, created when magma cools below the Earth’s crust, and extrusive, created when lava expelled by a volcanic eruption cools on contact with the air. This kit includes samples of intrusive rocks, such as gabbro, diorite, and granite, as well as extrusive rocks, like scoria, pumice, and obsidian. Other kinds of volcanic rock are also included, such as tuff, which is formed from compacted ash expelled during a volcanic eruption. This collection of igneous rocks is suitable for ages 8 and up, and would be a welcome addition to a lesson about volcanic eruptions, as the variety of colors and textures represented in the rocks can serve to illustrate the various ways in which igneous rocks can be formed. This kit could also be paired with two associated kits, the <a href="https://omekaoise.library.utoronto.ca/items/show/662">Metamporphic Rock Collection</a> and the <a href="https://omekaoise.library.utoronto.ca/items/show/664">Sedimentary Rock Collection</a>, for a hands-on geology lesson on the differences between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

Luckily, the OISE Library has a number of different games that help students learn while allowing them to have fun. Word Topper is an excellent resource for those looking for a fun way to encourage vocabulary-building in young learners. This word game is meant for students ages eight and up, and up to eight players can enjoy the game at once. This makes it a good resource for breakout groups or small classrooms. Each card has a letter with which players can build worlds for points, and there are five different wild cards to keep the game going at an exciting pace. Each letter card clearly indicates the number of points that it is worth. Students can challenge themselves to use their vocabularies in new ways, as building bigger and more complex words means more possible points. This game could also be a helpful resource for practicing spelling in a fun way. Word topper comes in a compact box and contains a total of 137 cards, or 130 letter cards, 4 wild cards and 3 direction cards. The rules are explained in a clear way so that students can begin to play quickly.

Then look no further than Super Big Boggle! This game puts brains to the test to see who can come up with the most amount of words in 4 minutes. This game is nothing short of a challenge. Super Big Boggle contains 1 letter grid with a dome, 36 letter cubes, 1 sand timer, and 1 instruction sheet. Players (minimum two, but no maximum!) choose someone to shake the cube containing the grid of the letter cubes. After all the letter cubes are settled into their slots, play begins! The goal is to come up with as many words as possible (there is the option to assign points based on number of letters) within the 4-minute time limit. It should be noted that Super Big Boggle contains two non-standard letter cubes: one with the letters “th” and one with a solid square or “blank” on it. The square means players may go around the blank, but not through it. Much like Scrabble, words cannot be proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions or foreign words. Teachers will find this is an excellent tool for challenging students to use and improve their vocabulary skills. This game is recommended for those in Grade 3 and up given the pressure involved in the game.

Using the puzzle pieces with pictures and words printed on them, children can practice putting together sensible sentences. As they become more confident with reading the sentences, the children play around with longer and sillier sentences. The puzzle pieces are colour-coded and contain a word that is either a noun, adjective, article, verb, proposition, or a period. Sentences are made by choosing a different word from each of the piles and putting the pieces together.

The purpose of the kit is to help teach elementary students ages 6 and up to spell using two-piece word puzzles. This activity kit is perfect for teaching students about how to create words according to vowel sounds in different word families. Teachers can use this kit to make learning how to spell more visually engaging and hands-on for their students. The kit contains 220 different letter puzzle pieces that students can manipulate and connect to create different words. The puzzle pieces are organized into four categories: Word Family Puzzle Pieces; Consonant Blend Puzzle Pieces; Initial Consonant Puzzle Pieces; and Digraph Puzzle Pieces. Each puzzle piece is also colour coded by vowel sounds in the word families, and by beginning sounds, which are further explained in the instruction booklet. The colour coding provides students with visual cues for puzzle pieces with similar sounds. The instruction booklet also contains a “Word Family Reference List,” which shows possible puzzle piece word combinations. It also provides suggested game and activity ideas for using the letter puzzle pieces for student learning. To further enhance student literacy in a fun and interactive way in the classroom, the Big Box of Word Chunks can also be used as a companion to the Big Box of Sentence Building kit, which is also available at the OISE Library.

Meant for children five years of age and older, this activity kit provides a colourful and interactive alternative to learning how to read, write, and formulate sentences in English. With 250 word and punctuation puzzle pieces, the Big Box of Sentence Building is perfect for those visual and hands-on learners, and for those looking for a little bit of fun! Along with its 250 word and punctuation puzzle pieces, the Big Box of Sentence Building also comes with a 4-page resource guide that includes directions, suggestions for teachers on how to use the kit, and possible games to play in the classroom. The tiles themselves are both connective and colour-coded. While the connectivity of the tiles allows for ease-of-play, each colour of the tile is indicative of the part of speech that is represented by the word or punctuation printed on the tile. This helps to provide visual aid for learners who need help in differentiating between the different parts of speech. The parts of speech included in this kit are: Action, Linking, & Helping Verbs, Nouns, Adjectives, Adverbs, Pronouns, Prepositions, Conjunctions, Articles, Pronoun/Determiners and Punctuation Marks. The kit also includes four blank spaces that allow students to create their own puzzle pieces. Teachers can use this kit when giving lessons on punctuation, grammar and sentence formulation. It is also a great resource when building a student’s vocabulary and fluency, helping to improve sight recognition and showing students the many ways that the different parts of speech are meant to, and not meant to, fit together. With this kit, students are able to interact and experiment with the English language first hand in a fun and visually-stimulating way. With 250 tiles, many combinations of parts of speech are possible, providing students with a great source of practice.
