Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Name fifteen figures associated with China and say what each one is known for
Sort the same fifteen by field - philosophy and strategy, literature, film, business, political leadership
Place the figures in rough chronological order, from Confucius and Sun-Tzu in antiquity to Xi Jinping in the present
Teaching tips
Cut the sheet on its three-by-five grid to get fifteen portrait-and-name cards, one per player in a class of that size
Because each card has a name and portrait but no biography, pair it with a short profile, a textbook page or a research step first; the game runs on knowledge students already hold
Five cards name political leaders from Sun Yat-sen to Xi Jinping; decide in advance how much twentieth-century political background your class needs before those cards come up
Skills covered
Connect a person’s name and portrait with information from a lesson or research
Group figures by areas such as literature, philosophy, film, business or politics, allowing overlap
Use researched information to build a rough timeline
Good to know
