The power of Game-Based Learning is long recognised at all levels of education, but we have yet to embrace the power of Game-Design Based Learning. In this LTA Lunch Lecture, Caroline Archambault (LUC) will share the tool ‘Game of Games’ and talk about her experience in using it with her students.
Caroline Archambault created Game of Games as part of a LTA innovation project on Students as Simulators. It is a low-tech, rapid, training tool in game design, in which anyone (10 years+) can design learning games around any learning objectives and in any learning setting. The game design process is itself gamified through a simple, versatile, portable, solo or multi-player, cooperative or competitive card game. It is easy to integrate in diverse classroom settings. The method is designed to confront the main obstacles facing amateur designers: creative obstruction by game histories, confidence and resistance to co-creation. It is also designed to have fun.
Archambault will demonstrate how to play Game of Games and showcase its different applications in a diversity of learning environments. During the lecture, we will explore together how you can use it in your classrooms to add a creative, playful twist to your lesson plans. And we can play it ourselves, just to have a little fun.
The tool is freely available as Print & Play at www.gameofgames.net. The digital version is currently under development.
