Who made that Game?

The 5th grade students at our Lady of Peace have studied the geography of the United States.

They have learned the major landforms, people of each region, the agriculture, and natural resources.  







The biggest challenge has been learning all the states with their capitals and initials.  







Just ask any fifth grader at OLP for the capital of any state.







The students have designed their own games to showcase what they learned.  





They had to make game board, pieces, rules, questions and answers, after that design a box.  






The board game could be similar to monopoly or any made up game.







The questions could include any facts we learned this year from people capitals, capitals, resources or landforms. 

The children are able to express their creativity and knowledge in a different way then a traditional written test.
