This game is intended for my 6th grade history class, to supplement the instruction that I give my students in class. My students are currently learning about World History and to help them to grasp the concepts they need to put this history into context, I have developed this game. The basic premise is that they will be asked a series of questions and they will have to choose the correct answer from several choices.
