Snakes and Ladders, Hinduism and Buddhism Review
I adapted this from a high school leveled source on the study of Hinduism. Here students get to play snakes and ladders to explore dharma, karma, reincarnation-- and then contrast these ideas with Buddhist believes.
Students liked this activity because it is a fun game day, and it allows them to apply principals that they have already learned. My sixth graders loved it.

Social Power Mapper
This tool allows for users to reflect on different scales of power or disempowerment. Recommended use involves going over the binary extremes as a class to briefly explain (bring your own images to help - but watch for stereotyping. Images of real people contrasting can help). Please remember that no such power/privilege taxonomy can ever be perfect - local and cultural variations play a very important role in the amount of social power an individual has. Also, words and power change over time!
