Ancient China Geography Activity for Google Drive: Postcard Project

This Ancient China Geography Activity is a great way to help your students visualize the landmarks and key natural barriers of Ancient China. In this assignment, students will be creating three "postcards" in a Google Slideshow, with each one representing one of the key geographical landforms of China, such as the Yellow River, Gobi Desert, Qinling Mountains, the South China Sea, and more.

Chinese Philosophies Debate and Slideshow

Bring the Ancient Chinese Philosophies of Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism to life with this "School Rules" Debate! In this engaging, printable and digital activity, students will learn about the philosophies using the provided Google Slideshow and note sheet. Next, students will apply the philosophies by creating school rules in the style of the three philosophies. Finally, they will debate about which philosophy's rules would be the most effective.

Silk Road Simulation Game

This no-prep, game-based Silk Road Simulation will be the highlight of your Ancient China unit! In this simulation with printable and digital options, students will travel along the Silk Road, trade a variety of goods, encounter challenges along the way, and answer trivia questions about the Silk Road. Simulations can be such fun and meaningful activities, but they often take a lot of work and preparation to set up, which is why we did all of the work for you! You don't need to cut, purchase, or set-up anything to do this simulation, simply present the slideshow to your students and copy or share the handout with them.

Great Wall of China Reading Passage and Activities

This no-prep Great Wall of China reading passage and set of activities will be a great addition to your Ancient China unit! Whether you use the printable or digital versions, have your students read the passage about the Great Wall before they complete two creative activities about what they learned: a reading comprehension puzzle and a discussion prompt/written response about whether or not walls are effective and worth the cost of building and maintaining them.

Some of the resources in this bundle will go directly to your TpT Purchases folder of your Google Drive account after completing your purchase. If you have any technical issues, reach out to us at mrandmrssocialstudies@gmail.com or contact TPT.
