Abandon Ship! Titanic Social Stratification Game is an immersive role-playing activity where students decide which passengers get a spot in the limited lifeboats as the Titanic sinks.

This activity sparks thoughtful discussions around social stratification, privilege, discrimination, and more while also working on teamwork and decision-making skills. Most importantly, students find this activity highly engaging as they take on the roles of Titanic passengers fighting for survival. This versatile 25+ page teaching resource can be used as a standalone activity or supplement lessons on the Titanic, social stratification, ethics, discrimination, psychology and more for grades 7-12.
