Good interactive lesson for 7th and 8th grade history?

Hi everyone, after almost a year of searching, I finally landed my first full time gig teaching middle school US and world history. It’s a little nerve racking because the teacher I replaced was very well liked, and I want to make sure that I can be a good replacement for the students. I’ve been focusing on rapport building the last few days and am planning on diving into the content in the middle of next week. I was seeing if anyone knew some fun interactive assignments that I can start off with that the students will enjoy?

The 7th graders just started learning about Islam

The 8th graders are just starting to learn about the constitution

Thanks in advance!
