Today, I have rounded up 13 Free Printable History Board Games. I think there is a great lack of fun history board games. And learning history can be more engaging at times when the kids can play games with each other instead of always touching an app.
Free History Board Games
Are you missing out on free unit study resources, how-tos, and encouragement I share JUST on my closed Facebook Group?
Don’t we have enough games where our kids play alone? I really try to keep the sibling rivalry camaraderie going too.
Not only do history board games fight the doldrums, but they make learning about history come alive. I know you’ll love one or two of these.
1. Viking Voyages. A board game about Viking Trade Routes at Ellen J. McHenry. While you’re there check out her other great games and hands-on ideas.
2. The Presidents Game. Find the .pdf towards the bottom of the post.
3. Royal Game of Ur _ A History Game from Mesopotamia. It’s a subscriber freebie. If you sign up for her newsletter, you get the freebie.
4. Nice. The Bill of Rights Game and Freedom Wheel invites kids to get in the game of civics and acquire a better understanding of the basic rights of each American citizen as granted by the U.S. Constitution.
