I have to make a boardgame for school about civil rights. any ideas?

Question

?

Answer 1

Model it after the game of life.  You know,  start here and then as you move along things go forward, fall back, move forward, etc.  Along the way be sure you cite dates and examples and choices, etc.....  The end is where we are today or where you see civil rights it in the future

Answer 2

A trivia quiz about the history and practicality of civil rights or players can play a game about the ups and downs of the struggle to get civil rights laws passed. It depends how much time you want to spend developing the game and what you want to focus on.

Answer 3

Yes.  Suffrage.  Make a Monopoly and Shoots and Ladders type game, and use women's right to vote.  Have a Do not pass go, do not have the right to vote square, and a Gimme your land and forcibly moved to a Reservation square.  Use segregation.  draw cards, like use segregated water fountain, use integrated water fountain, ride at the back of the bus, etc.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Make it a question and answer.  Be sure to include questions on the well known facts as well as facts that are not so well known.  Vary it also: mention African Americans, women, Jewish and other groups who have fought/ are fighting for their civil rights.  And lastly, try to make it fun.

Answer 5

Why don't you make all different characters to show the different kinds of civial rights, like a young person, and old person, an immigrant, a high earner, someone on benefits etc, and then just do a very simple roll-the-dice method.  Different squares can give things like questions about civil rights, which if you answer correctly you get to roll the dice again and if you get wrong, you lose your turn. (Like trivial pursuit!)  you could have squares with cards on like community chest in monopoly that will also incorporate civial rights facts, like "you turn 18 and can now vote, move on 3 spaces",  or "you committed a crime, you lose a particular civial right, move back 3 squares".  Sorry, i don't know much abotu the type of civial rights you are studying but it's a basic concept that might work!
