Sharecropping and Tenant Farming Simulation Game
In this lesson, students are divided into sharecroppers and tenant farmers. Each round, they have to choose a crop to plant which is dependent on market forces and the weather. If they choose well, they'll do well even after paying their dues to their landlords and living expenses. But for most, the system will prove to be toil and sweat for not much. Great way to teach a failure of Reconstruction.

Social Studies/American History SCOOT review game~ FUN!
Hi! This is a version of the popular game"SCOOT!" that I made for a 5th, 6th, and 7th grade social studies class. We played at the end of the year, and it was a great culminating activity which touched on lots of different topics. (Landforms, U.S. symbols, cities and states, history, etc.) I think it would work well with any grade from 5 - 8...although it may be a bit "easy" for 8th graders. :)
