One activity that could be done in a middle school early people migration lesson is a simulation game.
First, divide the students into small groups and assign each group a different early human migration route, such as the Bering Land Bridge, the Pacific Island migrations, or the Out of Africa migration.
Next, provide each group with a map and some basic information about their assigned migration route, including the starting point, destination, and any obstacles or challenges they may have faced along the way.
Then, have the groups work together to plan their migration journey. They should consider factors such as food and water sources, climate, geography, and potential dangers.
Once the groups have planned their migration routes, have them present their plans to the class. They should explain their reasoning behind their decisions and how they would overcome any challenges they may encounter.
Finally, have a class discussion about the different migration routes and the similarities and differences between them. Ask the students to reflect on the challenges faced by early humans during these migrations and how they may have influenced the development of different cultures and societies.
