Games
- Have students create an Early Settlement of North Dakota Board Game following the criteria of the rubric.
- Have students play these games using questions from the text: BINGO, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Trivial Pursuit, etc.
(The following site is a wonderful site with templates, directions, and examples of Jeopardy, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, or Hollywood Squares using PowerPoint.) Suggested categories: One-Room Schoolhouse; Entertainment; Prairie Homes; Roles of Men, Women, and Children; Ethnic Groups of Immigrants.
- Early Settlement of North Dakota BINGO—Have students fill in the blank boxes with early settlement words provided. Have a list of words created along with the definition, and cut them into small pieces. The caller will select a card, read the definition, and the students will place a marker on the word that matches the definition. When BINGO is called, the student must read each word and give the definition before it is counted.
- Note: This may be used as an assessment tool.
- Bingo Card
- An entire segment of the Teacher Resource Guide is devoted to pioneer games. Have the students read the directions of the games and teach them to their classmates. Play them and compare and contrast the games of the pioneer days with today’s modern games by using either a T-Chart or a Venn Diagram.
