Best Classroom Simulations, Games, and Roleplaying

Students use roleplaying, social simulation games, and real-world simulations to develop, understand, build the skills, and behaviors to solve challenges/problems in fun hands on ways. Example 1: Students are assigned the roles of waiters and waitresses, restaurant patrons, and hostesses to simulate operations of jobs in the hospitality industry. Example 2. Students are assigned the roles of designers, manufacturers, buyers and salesman to simulate the operations of running a toy company.

SAE INTERNATIONAL has free hands on STEM simulations that are grade level science standards specific. In my opinion some of the best free teaching lessons and semulaions for STEM hands on learning.
