Archie Games and Resources for Teachers

img_7937.jpgArchie has been featured in outreach events through out North Carolina to educate the school students and the general public about the state's prehistoric life, specifically during the Triassic period. If your school has a science night or similar event coming up and you would like to feature an Archie booth/ interactive table, please contact us at mckinneymuseum@appstate.edu. We are also constantly adding resources for teachers to bring to light this amazing discovery in their classrooms. Here are a few we have made so far:

  • Archie Memory Game (by Ashley) - This is not your average Memory game! Rather than match two pictures to earn a pair, you need to match a question about Archie's life and discovery, with the appropriate answer to earn the pair. 

  • Dino-Mite Coprolite Toss (by Uli and Landon)- Answer questions about Archie for your chance to pop balloons in this coprolite toss. The more questions you answer correctly, the more coprolite bean bags you get, the higher the chance you'll get of popping a balloon. The player with the most balloons popped wins. 

  • Tales and Tails (by Nik and Syd)- In this game, four players go head to head in an intense Archie challenge. The questions players have to answer get harder as the game progresses. 

  • Go Archie! (by Alexandra)- A twist on Go Fish! 

  • Fix Archie! (by Todd)- A two player game where participants ask each other questions and place tiles on the correct answers. The tiles are then turned and the Archie image reveals whether the questions have been answered correctly or not. 

  • Archie Myth or Fact? (by Madilyn and Amber)- This game cards are a quick way to learn more about the NC aetosaur.

  • Minecraft FossilFinder (by Alec) This is a big file, please contact us at mckinneymusem@appstate.edu to access it.
