Background: Role-play is a type of simulation activity that allows students to be creative in the classroom. Early on, role-playing activities were used by political strategists and business training.
The use of role-playing in social studies can help students relate a situation to their own lives. Students learn best when they can connect new learning to prior knowledge. Even though this role-play situation is short it sets the stage for a discussion of rights and responsibilities in relation to the Bill of Rights.
