Mission 1: For Crown or Colony
This immersive, interactive game is a hoot. In "Mission 1: For Crown or Colony," students become the avatar of a young apprentice as he does his job and observes revolutionary activities in Boston in 1770.
Each student (or student pairs) will need a computer (it does not currently work on mobile phones), and they will need to sign up and log-on if playing online. An iPad app is also available.
Teachers might just let students play and discuss afterward; this game has sneaky ways of teaching students history. More teaching activities based on the game can be found by clicking on "Educators" then "All EDUCATOR MATERIALS."
