What Do You Know? Game
1. Gather the class outside around a slight down hill slope. (This can also be done with a tub of water, a wide board, and some clay.) Using a pitcher, pour the water down the incline, and ask the students what they see. Responses will vary.
2. Now using some dirt or clay create some barriers or walls and then pour the water down the incline. Again ask the students what they noticed.
3. Back in the classroom, discuss the differences between the two different pours. Guide the discussion towards the United States policy of containment. The United States felt that if communism was allowed to move freely, it would take over what ever it wanted, but if the spread of Communism was obstructed, like the wall of dirt or clay, it would have to fight to take over an area, or even leave it be.

Split the students and place them on both sides of the tape. Lead a discussion asking the students what this separation reminds them of. Their answers will vary. Make connections to football or something that they will understand in which a dividing line is created (like drawing a line in the car and telling a sibling not to cross it).
2. In football two teams are trying to cross this line. One to get towards their goal and the other to try and stop them. Connect this to the creating of the Berlin Wall and the separation of Berlin, but remind the students that no force was used in the dividing of Berlin. It was not until the Korean War that the first armed conflict of the Cold War took place.
3. Now connect the line in the classroom to the 38th parallel, the line that separated North and South Korea after WWII and was crossed by the North Koreans in the 50’s causing UN involvement.
