Independence Trivia Game

What and when did things happen leading up to the Declaration of Independence? 

 The Independence Trivia Game will help you sort it out. 

• Print out and cut the cards for your players and keep the answer sheet for yourself. 
• Shuffle the cards and lay them out on the kitchen table. 
• On Day 1, have a child look over the cards and pick out the one he thinks happened first.  If they choose the right card, have them read it out loud.  If they choose the wrong card, have them guess again until they choose correctly.  Afterward, place the card on the table so that you can put the number 2 card next to it on Day 2. 
• Continue building the timeline each morning for the rest of the week until you place the final card on Day 6. 

Younger children love to memorize, so if you want - you can make it a challenge to list the cards in order every day without looking.
