Experience the journey of humanity’s progress from the Paleolithic Age to ancient Mesopotamia—without the snooze-factor of a textbook!
In this complete simulation, learners step into the role of a prehistoric leader, guiding their tribe from nomadic survival to flourishing civilizations. Forget dull timelines and dry lectures; this is hands-on history where your decisions determine the fate of your people. Will you scavenge for berries or boldly hunt that mammoth? Form alliances or risk going it alone?
As you transition from survival in the Paleolithic era to village life in the Neolithic Age—and ultimately witness the rise of ancient Mesopotamian civilizations—you’ll experience firsthand the triumphs and pitfalls that shaped our earliest societies.
What’s Included
Comprehensive 152-slide simulation (PDF) packed with detailed scenarios
28 decision-based challenges that spark critical thinking
Simulation journal for notes, reflection, deeper learning, and tracking outcomes
This isn’t just a simulation—it's a complete lesson designed to engage and immerse learners in the incredible story of human advancement.
Why This Is More Than Just “Stone Age Stuff”
Let’s be honest: attention spans nowadays can feel shorter than a Paleolithic spear. That’s why I built every aspect of this resource to keep learners on their toes—from deciding how to find food to strategizing village defenses. They might not recall the exact year humans invented the wheel, but they will remember how it felt to make life-or-death choices for their tribe.
Engagement & Flexibility
Whether your class is the talkative type that debates every detail or a quieter bunch that moves at lightning speed, the simulation’s flexible pacing adapts to your group. Expect lively discussions on everything from hunting to horticulture—that’s the kind of active learning that makes history truly stick.
Made With Passion (and a Few Late Nights)
Developing these simulations has practically turned me into a time traveler (minus the cool gadgets). But the result? High-impact, interactive lessons that transform passive learning into an unforgettable adventure. If you’re looking to spark curiosity, deepen historical understanding, and watch learners become problem-solvers, you’re in the right place.
