Digital Version of the Urbanization Game

Josh Tygart
Josh Tygart 29 days ago

Hi all,

First time poster here. I was encouraged to share out something I have been working on which is a digitized version of one of my all time favorite simulations: "The Urbanization Game". This is for those that teach students virtually or if you don't have the supplies/space for the physical version of this fantastic activity. Here is the Google slides link to the instructions for my digital version of the "Urbanization Game" which also contains the link to the virtual game board I made as well.

It is not perfect and I am sure some adjustments can be made to make it even better, but this gives my virtual students the chance to participate in, what many tell me is, one of their favorite activities of our class at the end of every school year.

If you do end up using it, all I ask is that you let me know down below how it went and share if you have any other simulations/similar activities that get your students engaged and create positive and lasting memories of your class.

    I love seeing how this lesson resonates with teachers and students.  I had a presenter use industrialization as his example of something he does like to teacher.  I thought-you must not be doing the urbanization game.  There are students that get frustrated-Previous post have got tne me more sensitive to this.  I wonder what people do to support students that are about to "crash out".
