Trade Routes Activity--5th Grade Studies Weekly Week 8
By Colleen Burdette
Get up and get trading:
Students love getting up and interacting with this trade route activity. This activity supports the study of Indigenous People's trade routes, but can easy represent a variety of civilizations. Students loved having a goal and being able to barter with one another to succeed in that goal.
After completing the activity, students reflect on their experience and make connections to what makes a successful trade route. This helps students take prior knowledge and bridge it to historical learning.
My students loved this activity and had a great time bartering for resources.
This lesson covers Indiana Social Studies Standards 5.E.1, 5.E.2.

In Task 1 students will read an informational text about the Maya Empire and then find their way through a maze by answering true or false comprehension questions. If they answer the questions correctly they will reveal their first word.
In Task 2 students will use the same informational text to complete a crossword puzzle. Within the puzzle there are several hidden letters which will need to be unscrambled on the completion of the puzzle to reveal the second word.
In Task 3 students will have to cut out 27 timeline task cards before putting them in order from the earliest date to the most recent. When they have finished their task they can glue them onto the answer key which will reveal their third word.
In Task 4 students will have to find the missing words in a wordsearch puzzle before finding a hidden word from the letters that are left over in the puzzle. This hidden word is their fourth and final word.
Students can then complete their student answer key with the four words they revealed before checking with the teacher to see if they have escaped successfully.
