Today kids in our group continued to develop and finish up their board games, working to find out what really makes a board game attractive to a player.
Students enjoyed their food from this morning in the classroom before beginning for the day.
Brainstorming for our homemade board games- thought through what type of games, went through the elements of a board game, came up with what does and doesn't a game successful
After lunch some continued to work on their board games while others played more games to win points.
We started our day finishing some board games from yesterday, including to intense (and lengthy) games of Monopoly. Next, some of us played classic games like Yahtzee, while others in the group played more contemporary games, such as Settlers of Catan. Prior to lunch, we started to brainstorm our own ideas for potential games we could create ourselves. We did this by looking at some common themes in these games and what made them fun to play, such as skill, strategy, and luck. Finally, we finished the day by taking advantage of the amazing weather and moved outside for a cookout and a cornhole tournament!
