25 Words for our Cultural Literacy Game Night!

I was surprised how much fun I had choosing these terms! 

Gear up for a fun cultural literacy game night at the end of each month! This is TOTALLY OPTIONAL. Join in if you feel ready for this fun challenge.  

Anyone can come to the game night who has put in the effort of memorizing the 100 terms per month (the gist of them, not word for word). 25 terms a week means writing five cards each weekday (or about 8 a day the three days you're not at Vanguard), and reviewing them as you go. It's doable if you're persistent! 

You may know many of these already, especially if you read 1776. Get out your index cards and let the fun begin...
