FREE LESSON – “Social Studies Causation Cards”
The Owl Teacher
Grades 3-6
Causation Cards are the newest and next best thing since task cards!
What Are Causation Cards?
Causation cards are a fun, interactive way to review vocabulary and concepts that students need to learn. In addition, this engaging activity helps improve fluency and listening skills.
How Does Causation Cards Work?
The method is similar to the “I have… who has…” cards, where each student has to listen carefully to other students to know when it is their turn. However, causation cards do not contain a repeated language (like “I have… who has…”). Instead it will state an action that a student must perform and a statement they must say. The action can be something simple from jumping in the air to drawing on the board. The statement can be a definition of a term or related concept.
Why Are Causation Cards Important?
This activity is a great resource for practicing those all important speaking and listening skills while building fluency. This resource is a great way to improve student’s reading accuracy, prosody, and fluency rate.
How Do You Use Them In The Classroom?
Have the class read through the set of cards multiple times giving each student a different card each time or read to each other by taking turns.

I can remember my grandmother sitting in her big rocking chair that was placed in her favorite spot, next to a picture window where she kept all of her plants. I would sit on her lap and she would sing about the beautiful autumn leaves dancing to the ground in their colorful dresses. I can’t remember the tune or the words, but that wonderful memory has always been vivid in my mind. as if it were yesterday. I’m so thankful for this experience.
as all the teachers who work with our students. Next we let our classes in on it, and they just loved the idea.
At the finish of a busy morning, we would switch classes and get ready to go to lunch. which is a real trip. We filmed them going through the lunch line and showed the cafeteria staff serving their food. Watching their child eat, and what they threw away was eye opening for many parents.
As the day drew to a close, you could still see us taping the children while in homeroom study period. and as their buses were being announced over the loudspeaker. Our ending statement says it all, “The last bus has been called, the room is empty, and quiet and sometimes we like it like that.” We always get chuckles from the parents because they can relate.
huckled over that. The ice had been broken and we’re ready to begin.
