Egg Puzzle Review Project

Materials:

· Colored paper

· Glue or tape

Procedure:

Prior to the class, summarize the topic in sequential form (i.e. place important events in the history, being studied, in chronological order.)

Then cut each one of the events out onto separate slips of paper and place each slip into a plastic egg container (note that every group of students should have a separate color of

plastic egg container in which the slips will be placed – also note that every group should have a copy of each slip.)

Hide these eggs around the classroom.

Give each group differently colored construction paper and tell them to look for egg’s corresponding to the color they have received. Explain to them that in each egg will be a slip upon

which details something significant about the history they just studied and that they have to place these in chronological order based on what they remember from the classes preceding.

After they have placed the events in chronological order they should compare with other groups to see if they agree on the placements. If not, they should discuss why they were right or wrong and come up with the correct placement.

After the order has been determined, the students should glue or tape the slips to their construction paper.
