Living Interactive Game

Curriculum-based Education Program
5th to 8th Grade

The Living Map Interactive Game is designed to visually teach students the story of the Allegheny Portage Railroad and Mainline Canal. Students are divided into three teams and are read a narrative of the events of the Mainline Canal. The students are asked questions and have to recall information about the canal. Teams compete for "Donkey Dollars" as they are asked to place models on the map. The team with the most money wins the game. A test is provided for teachers to use as a post-visit activity. The test is available on the website.
