Hunter Gatherer Building Shelter and Gathering Food Simulation Activity

This exciting simulation activity provides students the opportunity to pretend that they are a hunter-gather! With limited resources they must build a successful shelter. Then they must go on five hunting trips for food. They might find berries, nuts, a gazelle, a mammoth, or they may get the “injured” card while hunting. This extremely engaging lesson is sure to engage students into the lifestyle of being a hunter-gatherer and students will love the activity. This lesson comes with a Directions PowerPoint, Printable Food Slips for gathering, a Printable Gathering Log, and a complete Lesson Plan that explains how to run the lesson in your own classroom. Students will learn and they will love this meaningful and memorable lesson.
