Other Details
Parental Guidance
We play games called 'Instrument Imposters' and 'Rhythm Imposters,' which are inspired by the popular game "Among Us."
"Among Us" is a survival game in which players must vote off all the imposters and complete tasks to win, while the imposter tries to eliminate crewmates or hinder their task completion. In our game, the imposters are NPCs that produce sounds not corresponding to the pictures on the screen. There's no rivalry or competition among students in this class, but it's important to note that some younger students might find the concept of an impostor unsettling or frightening.
