Pope vs. King - Pick your Fate
This is a class favorite activity that has students play the role of Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV, and play out his famous conflict with Pope Gregory VII. Depending on what choices your students make different outcomes will result. One "path" (series of choices) is the most historically accurate, whereas others can be described as alternative history. Students enjoy this so much they request to do multiple rounds of it. I find it is effective to choose one student to be the decision maker and he

Kings, of course, have more money to buy property and more power to change the rules of the game. While peasants, though many in number, have very little power and money, often leading them to stealing or even revolting.

The Great Age of Exploration - The Crusades and Trade with the East! A Play
A great skit to help introduce some of the reasons why there was an Age of Exploration.
During the Crusades, a trade relationship develops between points in the middle east and with some Italian city-states. Of these, Venice benefited the most and will boast the largest market in Europe at this time.
This skit helps explain how this develops in a humorous way. A great lesson starter! Have fun!

Feudal System Conceptual/Organization Activity and Notes
Pretending to be William the Conqueror, students are given the resources and people available in England, 1066, and have to "organize" them into a "system" of some sort. Students are given a table which organizes each group according to what they want and what they can provide/offer in exchange (i.e. Knights:can protect/want land). This activity really helps students grasp the concepts of the Feudal System. Questions/answers and a diagram of the pyramid are also provided for after the scenario.
