Political Happy Families: A Level Politics Card Game - Key Thinkers fun end of term activity

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!
