Why should I get involved with GeoPlunge or HistoryPlunge?
Both GeoPlunge and HistoryPlunge motivate students to learn because they are fast-paced and fun. With just one set of GeoPlunge or HistoryPlunge, anyone can play a wide variety of games from simple to advanced. It’s learning made fun and a whole lot more.
*GeoPlunge teaches over 1,500 facts about U.S. geography, including where the states are located on the map, capitals, rankings in state size, population, and order they entered the Union, mountain ranges, lakes, and so much more.
*HistoryPlunge teaches over 4,000 facts about U.S. history, including how and why our nation was founded, major events in the growth of our country, prominent cultural figures, judicial rulings, identification of Presidents and notable Americans, timeline of important events and more.
Our games are more than just about teaching facts – they foster strategic and critical thinking skills.
Students play in teams of three and must effectively collaborate to succeed. Students displaying strong teamwork and good sportsmanship receive awards at our tournaments.
Teachers, school administrators and parents have consistently said that students gain confidence from participating and carry that confidence into other subjects.
Many students ask to play every day – it’s that much fun.
Seeing how engaged the students are with learning and feeling the excitement at a tournament has volunteers coming back year after year. You really have to experience the excitement to believe it!
Businesses, schools, teachers, volunteers and students from all different walks of life come together for our tournaments. Check out the blog entitled Building a Better Community by one of our volunteers.
