The Game of Famous Men
Secure the pictures of a group of 48 or more men of the present and immediate past who are well known in national or international circles. Place the picture on one card, the name on another, on the third, his nationality, and on the fourth, the thing for which he is best known. The last card can contain more than one thing, if you wish.
The game is played like the History Game above, and requires the players to be familiar with the well known men and their deeds, also to be able to call them by name, and to know their nationality.
The same idea can be used by making a game of the famous men of Colonial History; or of the period of the Civil War; or of the great World War just passed. Do you know the face of Gen. Haig, his nationality and principal event of his life? To look up the information for the cards is a good history lesson in itself. Take the ideas of all these games and by using your Productive Imagination make them fit the needs of your study, or the things which you wish most to master.
