Description
The French and Indian war was a world-changing event, but sometimes gets glossed over between Pilgrims and and the American Revolution. Don’t skip this vital point in America’s history! Dive in with this Escape Room Kit created by Nicki Truesdell.
Using documentary clips, primary source materials, maps, and challenging puzzles, students can either review or begin their study of the French and Indian War. Originally created for a homeschool co-op setting, this kit may be used at home or in any kind of group.
