Learning games can enhance high school students' understanding of the Crusades by making complex historical events interactive and engaging.
Through role-playing or strategy-based simulations, students can explore the motivations of Crusaders, the responses of Muslim leaders, and the geopolitical dynamics of the era. Games encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and empathy by placing students in the shoes of historical figures.
This hands-on approach helps reinforce key concepts, such as religious conflict, cultural exchange, and the long-term effects of the Crusades, in a memorable and meaningful way.
