The History Game
Secure pictures of the principal events in history and paste them on a series of cards. Have nothing on the cards but the picture, no printing, or names. Take three blank cards about 2×3 inches and on the first place the date of the event; on the second the names of the leaders; if a battle, the opposing generals; on the third put the name of the peoples concerned.
For example, first card, a picture of the Battle of Bunker Hill; second card, June 17th, 1775; third card, General Wm. Howe and General Joseph Warren; fourth card, British and American colonists.
A series of such cards should be made covering the events that are being studied at that time. The pictures are shuffled and laid in a draw pile on the table, and the cards are shuffled and dealt to the players. The one to the left of the dealer draws and plays a picture into the middle of the table, and then any cards which he holds which belong with it. The next player has the next opportunity to play, and so on around the group. The player who places the fourth card takes the book and is entitled to draw and play a picture into the center of the table.
Any card which is played in error that does not belong with the event in the picture shall be forfeited to the one who started the play with the picture card. The one getting the most books wins.
