Students Play Mission U.S. to Learn About the Revolutionary War


If you teach the Revolutionary War, then Mission US, For Crown or Colony is a must!  This is completely free game that students play online.  It's a "choose your own adventure" type game that leads them through decisions during the American Revolution.


The Lesson:

I've taught with this website a few different ways.  It can be taught in whole group instruction.  I've had students take turns making decisions as the game was projected in front of the class.

Last year I had students play on their own.  They seemed to really like this.  The only deterent, if you view it this way, is that students liked it so much they would finish it at home.

Mission US also provides several activities and worksheets to use with the game.  Check them out!

Watch the trailer of the game below.
