Looking for NO PREP, engaging activities to cover a variety of Civics and Government topics? Want a way to make the Articles of Confederation or the Declaration of Independence a blast for the class? This resource includes 9 Civics and Government Escape Rooms: Citizenship and Naturalization Preamble Escape Room Bill of Rights Escape Room Founding Fathers Escape Room Branches of Government Escape Room Declaration of Independence Escape Room Articles of Confederation Escape Room Supreme Court Civil Rights Movement This 9 pack bundle of Civics and Government related Escape Rooms will take students on 9 separate secret missions around the classroom! Each escape room has students decode interesting facts about the Preamble, the Declaration, Bill of Rights, Founding Fathers, Branches of Government and more!. This is the perfect resource to introduce the civics topic or to review the topics. Each Escape Room has students walking around the classroom breaking codes. Students are given 9 different secret code names and sent on 9 separate secret missions. The codes include ciphers, Morse code, cryptograms and a final 4 digit code based on the decoders/clues. Each clue and code is different. The codes require students to think differently to decipher or decode them. Some codes are easier than others. Some codes require critical thinking to determine what a letter/symbol stands for. Each code will reveal facts related to the topic. The use of secret code will keep your students engaged while competing to find the final code. Students can report the final code to you. If you wanted to, you could purchase a 4 digit lock that you program, but it is not necessary at all! No props needed!! Each room is a NO PREP, PRINT & GO Activity! Students are sent on 9 separate “secret missions” and given a different back story to ignite their active learning skills. They are given a code name which makes them feel as if they are part of the secret mission. Students practice hands-on, practical problem solving skills all while learning about various Civics topics. Your students will be inspired to think outside the box! The best age range for this resource is 8+. Please look at the preview to determine if this resource works for your age group. Younger students may need some help with some of the more difficult codes. You can use the pre-labeled clues or you can challenge older kids to choose/find the decoder that works for each of the clues. A set of labeled and non-labeled decoders are included. In addition to learning or reinforcing the subject matter, my escape rooms encourage teamwork and critical thinking. As a “timed” challenge, students will be engaged from beginning to end. An answer key and teacher directions are provided. Time needed: 30-60 minutes per room

A whole lesson on the actual events of the revolt. A treasure hunt around the room for information coupled with storyboard and other activities to consolidate.

If you are studying Hitler;s rise to power then this card sort will help your students assess how far the Munich Putsch in 1923 was a disaster for the Nazi Party. It can be used with a range of abilities and has never failed to get my students excited, engaged, whilst improving their understanding of the topic. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a single page Microsoft Word document which includes a learning objective, instructions, two headings cards labeled success and failure as well as sixteen information cards to be sorted. At the document there is an extension question designed to help consolidate the lesson. I have also linked in a video link to a clip from the film, Hitler the Rise of Evil, which could be used as starter to recap what had happened during the Putsch.

This is a fun and engaging GCSE history revision activity based on the popular Headbandz game (a.k.a. Who am I?). The idea of the game is for the students to guess which historical figure is on the card on their forehead by asking their classmates simple questions. The rest of the class can only answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. So the better they know the GCSE course the easier they will find the game! There are 60 cards in total. These cards are for: -Medicine and Health Through Time -Weimar & Nazi Germany -The Cold War and Super Power Relations -The Normans and Anglo Saxons These cards are easy to adapt or add to so you can customise the pack if you don’t teach any of these units. A fun, easy to run, popular and effective revision activity.

2 exam papers with model answers on the Anglo-Saxon and Norman England Edexcel 9-1 GCSE unit. Also a revision PowerPoint.
