I feel like school (and parents for that matter) has gotten better at recognizing the accomplishments of women throughout history and making sure that kids know that women were involved in science and art and politics and all the other things throughout history. But Women’s History Month (that’s March, by the way) is a great time to make extra sure these amazing women are learned about and honored.
To that end I wanted to share this amazing Guess Who game full of women from history. This printable game features lovely illustrations of all the women included as well as fact cards to help players figure out who matches to those facts.
The game was designed and is sold by Adventure in a Box, and you can play it with two kids or a group. The extended version printable pack includes rules for playing with a bigger group as well as printable posters for the classroom to help kids learn about these women even when they aren’t playing the game.
It includes 20 women ranging from Murasaki Shikibu (who wrote the world’s first novel) to Marie Curie, Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo and Nellie Bly, to name a few.
Just like in the classic Guess Who game, when playing with two players each one has a figure they are trying to guess that the other player can see. They take turns asking yes or no questions to help them eliminate some of the women until they feel like they can guess which one is depicted on their card.
You can learn more about the game in their blog post about it, or buy it here. There’s also a bigger women in history bundle that includes the game, coloring pages, paper dolls, a bingo game and more. You can also grab a printable women’s history coloring page for free if you want to start there.
