Propaganda is a game that assesses a student's knowledge of recognizing and understanding different techniques of persuasion. Players become critical thinkers. The official Propaganda Tournament Rules, all necessary playing forms, and instructional materials can be found on the Propaganda Rules and Documents page.

Actual play of the game is simple. A central moderator reads one or more sentences; and the player must decide which, if any, technique of propaganda is used. For example, I did poorly in algebra, but the teacher was just too hard.  The technique used in that example is Rationalization.
