Design a Holiday Themed Board Game!
Class experience
Games are FUN! If you like to play board games with family and friends, this is a wonderful opportunity to create your own. We will create our own path based board game that uses dice, a spinner, tokens and/or cards. I will introduce ideas such as Theme and Mechanism, Components and Playtesting. As this is a one session class, it will be simplified in exploring these ideas without getting too deeply into the theory. I will have pdf's to print 4 days before class so please have those...
Learners will create a basic path based board game on a Holiday Theme. *This class applies to the B.C.

🎲Instructor: Ms. Yvonne, BMus. McGill University. Hi! I'm a Metis artist, musician and micro-farmer. My experiences range from 10 years with IBM as a field tech to professional musician. I am a songwriter and a homeschooling mum of two kids and my current obsession is board game design. I believe that child-led project based learning is the key to engagement. As an ND learner myself and a parent of an ND child, I believe connection and relationship are the first step in education. PBL or Project Based Learning allows us to incorporate all sorts of learning in one fun bundle of exploration.
