Boardgames Madebykthsstudents Come To Life

Geoffrey Baker's 9th-grade US History students recently showcased their creativity and knowledge by playing their finished board games, which were designed to review their immigration unit. As part of the project, students were tasked with creating their own review questions and designing a board game that simulated bringing a family from Europe to the US of the complexities and challenges faced by immigrants coming to the US

This hands-on approach to learning allowed students to delve deeper into the subject matter and apply their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through designing the game and developing their own review questions, students gained a deeper understanding

This project not only reinforced the students' learning but also made it fun and engaging By incorporating game design and play, students were able to reinforce their knowledge of the immigration unit in a dynamic and memorable way Overall, the project was a great success and a testament to the effectiveness of interactive and creative learning approaches
