The Vietnam War

If you or your students are learning about the history of the Vietnam War, you have come to the right place. We have a virtual smorgasbord of teaching materials related to this important conflict in American history.

To start with, we have a Vietnam War outline. This easy-to-read and easy-to understand informative outline is available in printable PDF format. It prints as two pages (or as one double-sided sheet). Teachers can also opt to display the PDF on a projector, talk through it, and have students copy the material as notes.

Looking for a homework worksheet or in-class reading assignment? We have a printable Vietnam War worksheet which features text explaining the conflict, followed by questions.

Once students have gone through the outline and learned the material, teachers have numerous free quizzing options. Try playing a Vietnam War hangman game (which is ideally suited as a fun pre-test). Give students a chance to study individually with interactive Vietnam War flashcards. Save on paper costs by having the students complete a ten-question Vietnam War quiz online with instant results--students can email their results to you. If you'd prefer to use a paper-and-pencil test with your students (which also happens to include a DBQ essay), you can print our Vietnam War test.

Do you have your own test on the subject, but instead are simply looking for a review game that your students can play as a class? We have a Vietnam War Playtime game that is perfect for your needs. Simply divide the class into two teams and start playing. Quiz questions appear on the computer screen (displayed via your projector or whiteboard) and the game calculates scores for you.

As you can see, we offer a lot of options when it comes to covering the Vietnam War in your classes. If you can think of anything else you might like to see, do not hesitate to send us an email (or drop a comment) with your suggestions.

Hungarian Uprising Game

Here's a really neat interactive action game that I found online. Players participate in the Hungarian Uprising, a major event during the Cold War. We haven't gone all the way through it, but from what we've seen, it looks pretty good.

Tip for teachers: When you cover the Cold War in World History-Global Studies, consider placing a link to an educational game like this on your class blog, etc., right before you delve into the topic. You might be surprised with how much knowledge, as well as how many meaningful questions, your students bring to class.
