Board Games

Here are some great board games that students can play.

"Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are - but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle..."

Board Game Rewrite

Cards. A Printer. Tape. 

This is all you need to create your own academic card game! This template can be used for any unit. 

I rewrote the rules to the card game "War". These new rules can be used as a study game. The cards would have images and terms on them related to the unit. The students would need to say a fact about the cards they "win" to actually gain them to their deck. Please see the document below to look at the rules.
