A card game for A Level Politics students.
Played in groups of 2-4 students.
Tests knowledge of key thinkers as well as broader political knowledge.
Ideal for a fun activity at the end of term or end of the year.
The pack contains eight unique ‘political families’ - e.g. Liberal Key Thinkers, Conservative Key Thinkers, Labour Prime Ministers. Like the classic Happy Families game, the objective is for players to gather all five members of a family.
Each player in the game gets a chance to question their classmates, asking if they possess a member from a specific family. If the player has a card representing that family, they pose the question printed on the card. If they answer correctly they get the card. Otherwise, their turn comes to an end.
When a player has gathered all five members of a certain family, they place it in the middle, face up. The player who gets rid of all of their cards first is declared the winner!
Includes a set of instructions, as well as 40 playing cards.
The file is editable if you wish to change or update any questions. I do the anarchism non-core option. The game works if you simply omit the anarchism cards, or you can update the cards to reflect your non-core ideology.
Road-tested on my politics classes. Always goes down well!
