Two Volumes of CLASSROOM GAMES FOR 

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

by Beverly Enwall

Volume 1 offers suggestions for classroom activities about the American Revolution, to be used as presented or modified to fit the individual teacher’s preferred emphasis on people and events.   For each activity there are instructions, relevant material and information so that students can form an opinion, or, for the militarily minded devise a strategy or policy, and for the artistic in a variety of ways to create something 18th century American.    In our experience, this approach results in learning that lasts longer than answering the questions at the end of the chapter and, best of all, it focuses on the real experiences of people who believed in the Patriot cause and often paid a high price for our freedom.   

Volume 2 offers suggestions for classroom games about the American Revolution, to be used as presented or modified to fit the individual teacher’s preferred emphasis on people and events.   For each game  there are instructions of how to organize and play the game in a classroom setting,  and  patterns for game materials if needed.  Since these are learning games, many involve questions to answer, and for the convenience of the teacher, there is included a Storehouse of 300 questions (with answers) that can be used or quickly adapted to those events and personalities that the teacher wishes to emphasize.
