Welcome to the game of Empires, and welcome to the new frontier—space. In this game, teams (empires) will be pitted against each other to see how they can navigate the complexities and setbacks of space. The rules are simple, but the goal will demand teams to ally, to break truces, to trade strategically, and to leverage resources. Ultimately, this game’s objective is to teach students that decisions matter in the short-term and in the long-term, so they must plan accordingly.

The Empires Trading Game is a smash hit amongst students as they are pitted against one another in an attempt to earn Trade Points. Groups have the option to trade, raid, or build defenses, teaching them the value of working with other empires as well as preparing for the future. All the while, World Events are happening that affect all empires, forcing the groups to work together or fend for themselves. This version is paper only and requires the teacher to cut out the product. However, if you

Looking for a fun and unique way to reinforce concepts taught concerning balancing chemical equations? Then look no further than Balancing Battle. This game has a simple objective--balance chemical equations before the other team can do the same. Balancing is accomplished with balls or number and the game is a relay based game, where everyone is involved. Solidify learning and get the students on their feet in this engaging game of Balancing Battle.
