2 The first page of this packet contains the standards covered by this project. I always printed the page out and used it as my cheat sheet while teaching. It helped me ensure I was covering what I needed to. Page 2 is a graphic organizer I gave to students to glue into their social studies notebooks. We fillled them in together before starting the game, but you could also use it as a reflection sheet and complete it after the game. Page 3 is the answer key for the graphic organizer. Again, helpful for me to ensure I was covering everything.

6 Students also glued the next page into their social studies notebook. This game page is what they completed as they played the dice game. It helped focus all of the fun :)

7 Your Explorer Name Country sailed for: Roll # What did you do? Where did you go? (circle one) Gold

8 The next page I printed on card stock. Then I cut out the cards and put them in a basket. Students chose a card and this was the explorer they pretended to be throughout the game. This also told them what country they would be starting at (this is explained next). They used the information on this card to fill in the top of their game page.

10 Before class that day, I hung these flags in different corners of the room. This is where students would start depending on what card they picked. For exmaple, if they are Samuel de Champlain for the day, they will go stand in the corner with the French flag. No one will start in the corner of the room.

12 SPAIN

13 FRANCE

14 NEW WORLD

15 This part takes a little prep before game day. I print the following cards and cut them out. Next I tape them onto wooden dice according to the country column. So, I end up with an Dice, Dice, Dice and 2 Die (I ve found it gets crowded in the. Having 2 die helps crowd control.) I place the dice under the corresponding flag that s hung in the room.

17 How the Game is Played: Students take turns rolling the dice at their station. For example, if I pick the de Champlain card and I ve started in, I take the dice and roll it. Depending on what I roll, it will tell me to stay in or go the. It was also tell me how much gold I earned or lost (those are the + or - on the bottom of each dice). Before I go anwhere, I fill in my Game Page, writing what was on the dice, circling where I go, and then how much gold I earned or lost (I start all kids at zero and have them use negative numbers as needed). After students 10 rolls, they head back to their seats. We then discuss what happened to them on thier trip and either fill in their graphic organizer or compare their adventure to what we already filled in on the organizer.
