REVBOOK - Make Your Own Mock Social Media Page for Your Favorite Patriot

Create a modern-style social media profile for a famous Revolutionary War figure! In this interactive activity, students design a full digital “Revbook” page as if leaders like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Abigail Adams, or Marquis de Lafayette had their own online profiles. Students can drag and drop portrait “stamps,” customize profile information, list likes, add historical friends, and write wall posts that reflect real achievements or events.

Revbook includes helpful tools such as a comment generator, editable text fields, patriotic background themes, and customizable fonts and colors. When finished, students can publish their page and print it or save it as an image. This activity encourages creativity and reinforces historical understanding through fun, hands-on design.

Who is Your Founding Father?

In this innovative game, students determine the "Founding Father" by evaluating the accomplishments of Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, and Hamilton on a significance scale of 1-10.

For example, if a statement such as "How significant is it that this person wrote the Declaration Independence?" appears, and the student judges it "9," Thomas Jefferson would move forward nine steps.
