Prepare a learning game on any social studies topic of your choice.  Play the game with the class on Tuesday, September 7.

After class:

Return to this post and comment on the games.  Of all the games presented, which did you enjoy most?  Which do you think would be the most useful in terms of helping students master social studies content?  How did your own game go?  What (if anything) would you do differently the next time you use that game?
