WWI Alliance Simulation

I had a share a win from last week - I tried this simulation illustrating the role of alliances in the outbreak of WWI and decided it's a keeper!

We've had four snow days since the start of the new semester on January 21, so it feels like building classroom community has gotten off to a slow start. While this activity was great for content, it was also a huge win for getting students up and interacting with each other.

We'll be bookending our study of WWI with another simulation: the OER Project World War I Peace Talks.

Does anyone have other favorite activities for WWI?

It might be a bit late for you, Anne Koschmider , but I tried WWI- Our Interconnected World last year and it was a raucous good time. I used yarn with a few of my classes and party streamers with the others, and both worked well. It's one of those activities where I can get the wallflowers involved and almost everyone will write about it after it's over.

I'm about 4 weeks out from Global Conflict, jealous!

At the end of the school year, I ask my students for feedback on their favorite activities from the year. This one always comes back on the top of the list.
