Emoji Challenge: Can you guess the historical event?

Becca Horowitz
Becca Horowitz 28 days ago

As many of us wrap up the school year, let’s end with something light and creative. And maybe you'll be able to use this in your back-to-school lesson.

Your challenge: Describe a major historical event using only emojis (we won't restrict you to the top-used ones, so have at it if you're into Aerial Tramway). No words, no dates, no hints... at least not at first. Then see if others can guess the event in the replies. Maybe you'll even stump our team. Bridgette OConnor , Bennett Sherry Chelsea Katzenberg 

Here are a couple examples to get things rolling:

Cruise shipOcean Snowflake Boom Scream  

Can you guess which historical event we're thinking of?

Bread Rage Crown Arrow right Crossed swords Fire     

How about this one?

Now it's your turn: What major historical event can you describe using only emojis? Bonus points if it's something your students would actually be able to decode.

    Becca Horowitz Great post and my students would have loved this type of activity! Here's one that should be pretty easy for them to guess, especially toward the end of the year.

    Becca Horowitz this is really fun and creative! I would love to do it with my students. I also think it is a great ice-breaker activity to make students work in pairs.
