Students write a short story using every Orange Level HorseSense equine term in the attached word bank. This activity originated as a group activity for summer day camps, so it’s ideal for unmounted lessons.
Small groups of 2-4 students can collaborate on their story. It could also be used as a horsey homework assignment for individual students.
Our only rule: the story should illustrate a clear understanding of the terms that are used.
When students read their story aloud, you have the opportunity to discuss misunderstood terms. Just make sure to keep things lighthearted and enjoyable.
All of the terminology is taken directly from the detailed information in our student study guides: in this case, the Orange Level HorseSense Study Guide.
You can also create your own custom list. Simply copy and paste the list into a new document and edit.
