Description
If you are looking for a fun and engaging activity to introduce the American Revolution in your U.S. History class, this mapping game is perfect for you!
Based on the Urban Game format, the teacher will read from a script, guiding students through the development of anger in the colonies, leading to the Revolutionary War. Students will complete specific tasks and will draw a map of Boston, adding a key and details as the script is read. They will see how specific events impacted Boston (and the other colonies) and how they quickly progressed to the War for Independence.

Teacher Script
Image of completed map
Debriefing notes

Intolerable Acts (Coercive Acts)
Sugar Act
Stamp Act
Quartering of British Soldiers

No answer key is included since this activity is based on the completion of tasks and listening. A completed map is included on the teaching guide to help you see where students should be headed in their task, but individuality is important.
Assessing this activity can come from attempting to complete the tasks, listening and following directions, and participating in discussion or writing after the activity is completed. Assessments should NOT be based on students accurately completing all details in the script. The lesson is more about how events in Boston progressed to bring the colonies into the American Revolution.
