It's no surprise that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is Nintendo's best selling game for the Nintendo Switch. This timeless series has had my appreciation since the days of Mario Kart 64 when I was a kid myself! Now, with the technology available to us, we can play Mario Kart together online with up to 12 players. 🎉 In this ongoing social club, learners will meet weekly to participate in some friendly Mario Kart competition as we play through the wide selection of courses the game has to offer. I will host a lobby for learners to join me and then we will collectively decide what game modes/courses we will play throughout the meeting. Note that when playing online, you can have up to two players play from the same Nintendo Switch console! This means siblings or friends are welcome to play together. While there certainly is skill involved in maneuvering around the various obstacles in each course, there is also an element of chance based on what items the other players will pick up throughout a race. In other words, winning a race is never guaranteed. Part of what makes Mario Kart so fun is the possibility that a player can go from first to last or vice versa in a matter of seconds. Knowing this, learners should always do their best to maintain a positive attitude throughout class, being respectful of others whether they win or lose. REQUIRED MATERIALS: - A Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - A subscription to Nintendo Switch Online - A stable (ideally high-speed) Internet connection INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO JOIN A FRIEND'S LOBBY: Before following these steps, please make sure to add me as a friend on the account you will be playing on. This will be the account that has an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription. To do this, select the appropriate avatar in the top left corner of the Switch's home menu. From there, you can scroll down and you will see "Add Friend." Go over to the right and scroll down to "Search with Friend Code." Type in my friend code which I will provide in the online classroom here on Outschool, and voilà! 1. From Mario Kart's main menu, select "Online Play (1p / 2p)" (Select 2p if you have two players playing from the same console) 2. Scroll down and select "Friends" 3. Once you have me added, you can select my name (Vaughn) 4. Hit join!

Meet Our Teachers!
👨🏻 Mr. Vaughn, B.A., TESOL
Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Vaughn, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to our community. Originally from Winnipeg, Canada, I’m a proud dad to a 2-year-old son and a black cat named Milo 🐈⬛. I’ve been teaching English online since 2019, and my passion for connecting with learners has only grown since I began my journey on Outschool. I specialize in creating engaging, interactive lessons that explore video games, anime, pop culture, and guitar. My goal is to make learning as exciting as it is educational, so each session is an opportunity for your child to dive into topics they love and walk away with new skills and memories! 💫
👩🏼 Ms. Kait, B.A. Intercultural Studies, TESOL
Hi, I’m Ms. Kait! I’ve been teaching online for over 6 years, primarily focusing on English as a Second Language. Recently, I’ve expanded into gaming classes, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring my love for games like Zelda, Roblox, and Mario Party into the classroom! My goal is to create a fun and safe space where kids can learn, grow, and build lasting friendships through their favorite activities. Whether it’s exploring the magical world of Harry Potter, battling it out in Super Smash Bros., or diving into an anime adventure, I can’t wait to meet you in class and make learning an unforgettable experience! ✨
Thank you for joining us at Mr. Vaughn's Virtual Vault. We look forward to sharing this exciting learning journey with you and your learner!
