2014 - The King's Skittles
During this activity, students practiced historical empathy for American colonists by levying taxes on their classmates. Each person was given an amount of skittles that represented money. The parliament then assigned taxes and duties to the colonists for a variety of different items. Students then learned about the various taxes during the Revolutionary period that led to rebellion in the colonies.
