Description
Enjoy taking your middle school and upper elementary students on an adventure of a lifetime known as the Oregon Trail! Students will form family wagon teams and race each other to the Oregon Territory. While learning about this important era in United States history, this guided simulation will allow students to learn about and experience history! It’s a fantastic activity for any early American History class or to even use as a westward expansion simulation!

- A visual slide presentation containing over 150 slides with pictures and historical quick-reads to guide your class along the trail.
- Slide presentation is an interactive Google Slides Slideshow or also available as a PowerPoint format.
- Visuals are included for every stop along the trail as well as additional images of emigrant experiences.
- Access to interactive dice for students to "roll" and determine their outcome while using the Simulation Activity.
