Cubs win the World Series!

Wow, what a game!

If the students have nothing but baseball on the mind, and your classes or study halls need a little brain break, these resources might be fun to share!

Curse of the Billy Goat (11 min)  Very informative, and fun video about the history of the curse and Chicago baseball.  Could spark a great conversation on what this win means to so many generations (something I think many of our students don't quite understand yet!)

Can the curse be proved with math?  Make a graph in Google Sheets

1900's World Series Trivia- Partner students to search for the answers

Top Ranking Cubs players of all time Students choose one player to research and write a persuasive article on why the player they choose deserves to be on a list of top ten Cub's players.  Display the stop ten in the room with a "Hall of Fame" board.  

Here's an article with many more great ideas and resources on how to incorporate World Series themed lessons into different content areas. World Series Classroom Activities

GO CUBS!
