Social Studies Games


I found a website titled Primary Games at    http://www.primarygames.com/social_studies.php. This website is great for children to play games and interact with social studies concepts. Some of the games on this website can help with learning capitals, presidents, and flags. Some of these games are as follows: Jamestown, World Capitals, World Flags, Fire Safety, Name that President, 50 States, World Capitals, and Transportation. The Jamestown game involves hunting artifacts and exploring. The World Flags game involves matching flags with its country; this game will eventually give a great deal of knowledge on flags. Name that President helps students learn more about our past presidents. The transportation game is mainly for younger children; it involves racing helicopters, cars, and trains to learn more about transportation. This is a great websites for teachers to use in social studies centers or even for fun time in the classroom.

  2. This sounds like it would be a lot of fun and would be a great way to get the students interested. I love History trivia so this is a site I would play on in my spare time.
