"I Have, Who Has" Social Studies -World History review game
Hi! This is a version of the popular game "I Have, Who Has..." that I made for a 6th grade social studies class. We played at the end of the year, and it was a great culminating activity which touched on something from every chapter of our book. (FYI, the book we use is Pearson/Prentice Hall's History of our World, but this game would work well with any course of study which covers world history, ancient civilizations, etc.) I think it would work well with any grade from 5 - 9.
