Ellis Island Board Game

You and your group will be created a board game simulating the process of immigrants entering Ellis Island and the United States. Your games may be creative, but also reflect historical accuracy as well. Games must include the following processes:

 Medical – Doctors would check vision, hearing, skin, and temperatures  Baggage - Immigrants trunks and backpacks were inspected by officials  Interview – Questions were asked about plans in America. How would they earn money? Where would they live?  Deportation Room - Any immigrants who did not meet the requirements would be sent here and shortly forced to leave the United States.
