Tom Mullaney's Digital Breakouts
Edison Township Public Schools teacher created Digital Breakouts
Pinterest Digital Breakouts board (most of these are from Teachers Pay Teachers, so they may cost money to actually use--I have not checked)

"Working with a dedicated group of teacher-reviewers, CRF, DePaul, and Barat are developing lessons in inquiry-based civics in science, math, English-language arts, and social studies on the overarching theme of equality."
There aren't a lot of lessons included right now, but the ones that are there may spark ideas for other lessons you could try.
