Survival Simulation Journal Handout (given in class)
Do you have what it takes to survive in prehistoric times? Let’s find out! During this simulation, you will imagine that you are living during the Stone Ages and need to make decisions that will increase your chances of survival. You will either gain points or lose points depending on your decisions during each round, so choose wisely! Record what happens to you in this simulation journal. You will begin with 30 points.
This game does not work if you work ahead. There are new twists during each round, so you must follow your teacher’s directions closely.
While this is a game and it will get competitive, we still must be respectful and follow all of our normal class procedures.
Reflect on your experience playing the simulation by answering the following questions on your Survival Simulation Journal handout.
If we had to survive without the modern inventions and comforts that we have today, would you be able to do it? Why or why not?
How are our lives today similar or different compared to the challenges you faced in the survival simulation?
