A history-and-geography activity students actually look forward to. Drop a pin, guess the year, learn the story. Five rounds for a quick warm-up, ten for a full lesson — whatever fits your period.
"I tried GeoGuessr but it was too hard for the kids and just random points. EraPin is 5 historical locations with unlimited time — the kids like the game aspect and I debrief them about the events when they finish."
"I used EraPin as bellwork during our World War II unit. Finding Pearl Harbor and seeing where it was in relation to the US and to Japan connected a lot of dots for them."
"I want to continue to use EraPin. Students really enjoy it. As a teacher in a small district with a tight budget, I love that it is free."
"They play a lot of different games in school. They said this was really amazing and they really saw value in it as a school tool."
