Forms of Government Fun Simulation- Autocracy, Oligarchy and Democracy
This is a very simple simulation that will help students understand some of the advantages and disadvantages of autocracies, oligarchies and democracies. When students have completed the simulation they will be able to compare these forms of government based on how quickly and fairly decisions are made. This simulation should only take about 25 minutes but could take longer if there is a substantial follow-up discussion.
