Hands-on, Minds Engaged Manipulatives

Engagement Strategies use hands-on, minds-engaged kinesthetic learning experiences to bring history to life and make abstract concepts concrete.

​

​Hexagon Connections allow students to visually map relationships between historical concepts, events, and people. By arranging and linking hexagonal tiles, students identify patterns, causes, and consequences.

​

​Source Cards bring historical evidence into students’ hands through postcard-sized reproductions of primary and secondary sources. Students categorize, analyze, compare and match cards.

​

Timeline Tiles transform chronology into an interactive exploration of continuity, change, and cause-and-effect relationships.

​

​Board Games turn historical inquiry into strategy, decision-making, and problem-solving. Students step into the roles of historical actors, weighing options and consequences that shaped real events.
