Understanding the Roman Republic Hierarchy Game: 6th Studies Weekly Week 16
By Colleen Burdette
Competitive game to build the Roman Republic:
Students will compete against each other to create the hierarchy of the Roman Republic. The pyramid of the hierarchy is completed when it is topped by Julius Caesar and the student announces "dictator".
This game is great for competitive students as everyone plays at the same time. It is best played in small groups. It can be used as a center as the game can be played over and over.
The linked Google Slide Presentation which gives examples and directions also describes an extension. This extension explores the shift in power which gave plebeians more power, but not the vote.
This activity aligns with Indiana Academic Social Studies Standard 6.C.1.
