Excavate! Social Studies Game Series

Learn world history in a new way with Excavate!, a multi-game archaeology series based on the C3 skills of Inquiry and Evaluation of Evidence. Use archaeological thinking as you excavate and analyze artifacts from ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Rome, Egypt, Greece, Mesoamerica and the Byzantine Empire.

Built in consultation with social studies teachers, each section of the game begins with an overarching question to focus student inquiry as they dig, analyze, report and learn through object-based investigation. All games in the series include: highly detailed, authentic artifacts including special 3D artifacts that can be manipulated by the player; historically accurate, detailed scenes that bring the sites fully to life; extensive information about the ancient civilization; and supporting teacher materials.

Excavate! supports the new GBLxAPI learning data format. In this program, teachers are able to see reports on student progress agains C3 and ELA standards in an easy to understand format. Teachers can clearly see the work their students are doing. Providing flexibility for educators to match their own curriculum needs, the social studies game series is available as a bundle or each civilization may be purchased separately. Discover just how easy it can be to bring social studies game based learning into your classroom!
