Fun end-of-term board game activity for A Level politics students. The game involves students answering quiz questions on US politics to win Electoral College votes.

A card game for A Level Politics students. Played in groups of 2-4 students. Tests knowledge of key thinkers as well as broader political knowledge. Ideal for a fun activity at the end of term or end of the year. The pack contains eight unique ‘political families’ - e.g. Liberal Key Thinkers, Conservative Key Thinkers, Labour Prime Ministers. Like the classic Happy Families game, the objective is for players to gather all five members of a family. Each player in the game gets a chance to question their classmates, asking if they possess a member from a specific family. If the player has a card representing that family, they pose the question printed on the card. If they answer correctly they get the card. Otherwise, their turn comes to an end. When a player has gathered all five members of a certain family, they place it in the middle, face up. The player who gets rid of all of their cards first is declared the winner! Includes a set of instructions, as well as 40 playing cards. The file is editable if you wish to change or update any questions. I do the anarchism non-core option. The game works if you simply omit the anarchism cards, or you can update the cards to reflect your non-core ideology. Road-tested on my politics classes. Always goes down well!

A group discussion activity designed to introduce students to socialist views on the role of the state and different strands of socialism. Contains 5 A3 country profiles of fictional nations and discussion questions. Designed to enable students to discuss how their state might transition from capitalism to socialism (revolution or through gradualism), the extent of government power in their state, the extent to which democracy is possible in a socialist state, the extent to which they will allow elements of private enterprise, and the consequences of these choices. I’ve found this to be a good way to introduce some lively critical discussion into the topic before introducing the different strands of socialism. As you move through the topic, you can relate the tensions and disagreements within socialism to their discussions and their socialist state.
