Looking for a great little activity for the Black Death? Try the Contagion Activity
I took a set of role cards from a different version of this game that I had used so the number of peasants is much higher. You can access those cards here: https://brownsburgk12in-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/mnowotarski_brownsburg_k12_in_us/EYKESBN1AH9Nuz7SoyfRm1EBOd9wW9gUxH4EbaqgkAZYqw?e=Jr85iC
The only other modification I made was that peasants got 3 playing cards, merchants got 5, and nobles got 10. Then, we could talk about how wealth is easier to get when you start with wealth.
The students loved it when I called out Patient Zero! Its a great little activity that doesn't take too much time, but its a good payout on student engagement.
What other activities do you love to use with the Black Death?
