= Trash Basketball (Subject: The Louisiana Purchase) = This game is designed to help students better understand the event of The Louisiana Purchase and the individuals involved. It is designed to help the students study the subject while they have some fun in the process. Plus, it feeds the competitive spirit in all children.

Here are some supplies you will need:
 * Trashcan
 * Small Ball
 * 2 markers (tape) or the teacher can choose two tiles on the floor for the student to stand on

Before You Start:
 * Specify somewhere on the board to place a scoreboard
 * Label the columns of the scoreboard Team 1 and Team 2, or the students can choose their own team names
 * Place a trashcan against a wall
 * Place two markers on the floor about 4ft and 7ft away. The first marker should be placed close enough, but far enough away to be somewhat of a challenge for the student. The second marker should be placed a significant distance away to make the shot harder.
 * Divide the students into 2 teams of equal size. This makes it easier for everyone to get and turn, and no one will have the advantage by having more students on one team than the other.

Here is how to play:
 * Two students at a time will go up to the front of the classroom
 * The teacher will ask them one question about the subject that they are studying
 * The first students to get the question right wins the chance to win a point for their team.
 * The student can choose to shoot for 1 point or try to earn 3 points. (The 1 point shot is pretty close to the trashcan, but if the students wants to try for 3 points it is further back and a harder shot)
 * If the student lands the ball inside of the trashcan, they receive the designated amount of points.
 * The student that won then goes up to the board and place one or three tally(s) under their team's column
 * The teacher can designate how many points the students have to get to, but most of the time it is either 20 or 25.
