Gold...what a rush!



I have kept the resource i reviewed for the earlier assignment in the back of my mind mostly because i found it so fun and effective. When i found i had year 5/6 i was like YES its gold rush time. Sadly they arent studying it till next semester but i took a spare moment to show it to my teacher and she really liked it. SO i want to share it here so more people can share it! Its called The Gold Rush and its a flash interactive activity/game. Ling; a young chinese girl guides us through the game from the informative introduction to the town where you must equip yourself with the supplies necessary to survive a month in the gold-fields of ballarat. Then into the gold-field where you find out if you had enough supplies and how much money you made. It feels so relaxed and fun but its teaching students about the goldrush. It is put out by the national museum of australia so is a reputable source. Enjoy http://www.nma.gov.au/education-kids/classroom_learning/multimedia/interactives/gold-rush
