I created this game originally as a WAGOLL for my students as they embarked on an inquiry-based project where they too would make their own board games in groups in order to teach others about their chosen topic related to ancient civilizations. This game can indeed be used as an effective resource to teach students about life in a typical Roman town (baths, shops, entertainment, etc.) and also, as mentioned, as a WAGOLL.

The game contains a series of Q and A cards (40 in total) complete with in-intext citations as good practice which as the students move around the board they will be required to answer questions in turn as they role a dice. The game has a clear scenario as well as clear rules of how to play the game.

For the purpose of assessment, I have uploaded an editable booklet that will enable them to carry out research into their chosen research question of which there are scaffolded questions as well as potential topics to help them within the booklet itself. There is a link to online resources in the booklet to get them started - but I have also found that beginning with 1-2 sessions in the school library to be really effective and an enjoyable experience after they have played the game. The booklet contains MYP individual tasks (E.g. explain research question, formulate an action plan, Cornell note-taking sheets, OPVL, reference list, reflection activity, etc.) which are linked to the MYP rubric, it is clearly laid out to facilitate inquiry-based learning (however - this can easily be adapted to any curriculum).

I also include a PPT with teacher instructions and a reflection activity.

A tremendous amount of hard-work has gone into making these resources, which in turn I am confident will save you many hours of planning as well ensuring that your students will have an amazing learning experience!

The board game itself can be printed in A4, but I recommend that it is printed in A3.
