I am lost I am a math not social studies fan and need to come up with a lesson using a game specific to a culture or country,like Senet for Egypt, Fang BAO- China, Kolap - Australia, etc. I have to fit it in with Ancient World or American History Sunshine state standards. If anyone can help me come up with idea please I have no clue what to do for an objective, procedure, evaluation, and follow up activity. How am I supposed to use a game to teach about a culture?
I agree it's silly but this is the state of things. I'd do Australia - it's easiest. Make a power point with a game board image. Every few steps there is a crossroads with a question - they can draw a card - the question is about Australia and answered right, that team can move ahead. If not, they stay put. First team to the end, if the board wins.
Sample question - who discovered Australia? The aboriginal people. The kangaroos. Admiral cook.
The obj. Is to familiarize students with Australian history and culture, the procedure is the game - have them read a handout first . It can be evaluated through a journal entry "what I like about Australia" and a follow up making a travel brochure for Australia
