High School Civics Games

This engaging lesson introduces students to World International Organizations and can be used in geography, civics, and government. It incorporates both Non-governmental (NGOs) and Intergovernmental (IGOs) — such as UNESCO, United Nations, World Health Organization**, Mercy Ships**, and more — explaining how they play a significant role in shaping global connections. These international organizations, such as the Doctors Without Borders, World Trade Organization, and World Bank, work to maintain peace, promote human rights, ensure economic stability, and address pressing issues like climate change, economic development, and poverty on a global scale. By learning about these organizations, students gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of our world and the importance of collaboration among nations. As an enrichment activity, students will be asked to work together to create an international organization to solve a world issue.

This lesson incorporates an introduction game, a carousel activity and task cards, a review game, task cards, and an enrichment activity**.** This lesson can easily be modified for shorter class periods and time restraints or needs.

• NGOs vs IGOs

Teacher burnout begone!!! You AND your students will love this fun activity! Perfect as icebreakers for those in-between days during back to school when you don't have anything planned. This Four Corners Mini Debate Activity is a great no-prep activity that you can use any time of year for a fun, engaging activity that your students will LOVE!

Students will love moving around the room as you click through the 35 debatable topics - mostly controversial, but some are silly as well! This is perfect for middle school/high school, but teachers are encouraged to preview the statements and skip over any which you feel are too controversial for your student population. (I definitely stayed away from the most controversial topics).

►You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to voice their opinions, defend their positions, and even learn something new!

►The printable Reflection Sheet will allow them to reflect on the ideas presented, and asks them to discuss two issues that they may have changed their stance on after the debate and the reasons why. This is an activity I use in my classroom every year and I know your students will love it!

***CHECK OUT THE PREVIEW FOR FULL DETAILS!***

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

• 35 Statements (Google Slides)

• Includes a Blank Editable Slide

• 5 Printable Classroom Signs

• Student Reflection Sheet

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE:

►If you agree with the statement, move to the side of the room labeled “Agree” or “strongly agree.” If you disagree, move to the side of the room labeled, “Disagree” or “strongly disagree.” If you’re not sure how you feel about the topic yet, move to the side of the room labeled, “Undecided.” (I typically have "undecided" students stand in the middle and hang the other posters in the four corners of the room.)

***Students should be prepared to defend their position even if they’re undecided.
