How to search and assign Activities

The Seesaw Resource Library is a growing resource of grade-level and subject-specific activities and includes the Seesaw Library, School & District Library, and Community Library

Browse free ideas that are ready to be assigned to your students today - or modify any Activity to meet the needs of your students. The Seesaw Resource Library was built to help all Seesaw teachers find high-quality lessons that inspire and deepen student learning.

🌟 Pro tip: if you're searching for an activity, use quotation marks around the activity name in the search bar! This can help you find exact matches if you know the title of the activity you're looking for. For example: "kindness matters" will retrieve only activities with "kindness matters" in the title.

How do I search the Activity Library by language?
If you are trying to search the Seesaw Activity Library for Activities in a specific language, there are a couple of choices. 

First, you can search by World Languages. This will pull up all Activities that have been tagged to this subject.

Additionally, you can update your search url to include the specific two-letter language code for the language you are looking for. 

For example, using the url https://app.seesaw.me/activities/search?query=&lang=fr will show Activities in French. The url https://app.seesaw.me/activities/search?query=&lang=es will show Activities in Spanish.
