Mercantilism/Triangular Trade Game
By TxMAP Teacher
This product is intended to demonstrate how Triangular Trade worked in the the 17th and 18th centuries.
Materials Included:
- Country Profile Sheets
- Colony Profile Sheets
- Raw Material Cards
- Instruction sheet
Teaching Strategy:
- Note: Students should have been introduced to information on Triangular Trade and Mercantilism preceding this activity.
- Divide the class into teams of 6
- Give each group a Country Profile Sheet - have students read the information for their country
- Students will then be given their colony - this can be done randomly or strategically. - It is often more impactful to the lesson to have groups actually go out and “explore’ their colony. I have given students numbers and then put colonies around the room with only numbers attached to them.
- The colony envelope should include the colony profile and the appropriate amount of raw material cards.
- When all groups have their colonies and have read all things about their country and colony then they should form a strategy for trading to get their necessary resources.
- Groups will then start trading with other groups to get the resources they need.
- Leave time to debrief and possibly play again.
- Adjust rules as you see the need.

Geography Game: Around The World (Countries and Continents)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Fun and exciting for all Ages - Middle School through High School
What a great way to review the geographical location of countries you study throughout the year! Students absolutely love countiries and continents Around the World game so much that they are disappointed that class is over. This world geography game has been played with my students throughout the year, usually at the later part of the year or end of the year, to reinforce students' recall of countries' geographical locations. As the intructor, I couldn't wait to play it with my students because I knew how much fun learning was going to be!
It is important for students to have a basic geographical understanding of the world around them. This game requires students to challenge each other by identifying the continents of each country presented.
Example: On which continent does Malaysia lie? On which continent does Madagascar lie? The student that is able to recall the location, moves on to travel "Around the World". This game moves quickly so that students are constantly involved and eager to participate, cheering one another on.
My students were required to learn where each country was located through study and map quizzes. It is important that students be able to identify the geographical location of each country so when they read/watch about current events, they have a geographical understanding of where the event is occurring in the world. Yes, they can always look it up, but are they going to?
Once you prepare the cards you can use them year after year.

Treaty of Versailles Escape Room Activity
By Creative Primary Literacy
A Treaty of Versailles Escape Room activity. Ideal for fifth grade or sixth grade, the activity is perfect for group work, starting a new history topic, team-building activities or for a fun, engaging and interactive lesson. The activity can be used in English class as it incorporates some ELA skills or in Social Studies.
The activity has been split into four different tasks; your students will need to complete each of the tasks to reveal a word. Together the four words make a phrase for them to escape the room.
Included in this resource:
⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻
In Task 1 students will read an informational text about World War I and the Treaty of Versailles 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.
