Class Experience

**Three students are needed to do the class and Among Us round.  If there are not three students enrolled within 48hrs before class, it will be canceled for that week with full refunds issued.  Transfers are okay, but only to another section within that same week.**

In this ongoing class, you get to play Among Us!  We will chat, play, and have fun while trying to find out who the imposter, or imposters, are.  

How the class will run:
If you have not downloaded the Among Us app (by Innersloth), please do so before class.  If you come to class without the app downloaded, you will be asked to leave without a refund depending on how full the class is.  This is based on whether or not I am able to assist you while running the class.  Please be sure to come prepared.  For any students who are late, you will be invited into the game once the current round has ended (if in mid-round).  

After 5 minutes, all students will disable their cameras but keep their microphones on.  Cameras being disabled (turned off) is a requirement as I can't supervise children via zoom (chat will be only to host) while playing on Among Us.  If students do not know how to turn off their cameras, I can do so myself.  

Having Among Us and Zoom on the same device is not suggested as this will make it difficult for students to mute when they'd like.

Things to know:
- Rules are in place to ensure a fun and fair game
- 14 students max
- 3 students minimum
- Quick-chat is on
- Have Zoom and Among Us on separate devices  
- Among Us app NEEDS to be downloaded before class
- 45 minutes long
- Ongoing class

Rules of being a cautious crewmate:
- Do not vote someone out purely due to anger and/or jealousy
- Be respectful and kind
- Be appropriate
- Take turns talking

Rules of being a sneaky imposter:
- Do not give away who else is an imposter
- Do not frame another imposter

Rules of being a task-fulfilling ghost:
- No talking

Depending on a rule that's broken, a strike, or multiple strikes, may be given.  If someone has 3 strikes total within a 5-week span, they will be removed from the class immediately (and any other class of mine) for 5 weeks.  The parent will be contacted so they are aware of the situation.

How many imposters will there be:

- 4-6 students = 1 imposter
- 7-8 students = 2 imposters
- 9-14 students = 3 imposters
Learning Goals
Social Skills: Communicate with other players during the meeting while also being an active listener, taking turns talking, and learning how to be persuasive to convince others of your innocence or guilt.
Critical Thinking: Work on your problem-solving and observational skills as you configure whether or not a player is a suspicious imposter or a crewmate looking for their tasks.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This game is known for its mild violence as there are cartoon-like eliminations involving different weapons. Those who are the imposters learn to lie and be deceptive to win the game. However, crewmates learn to work together and be strategic to win the game. There are pros and cons. As this is a game with deception and teamwork, there may be hurt feelings when a student is falsely accused of being an imposter. Unfortunately, this is part of the game. It can be fun too! It's important for students to learn to control ones emotions when unexpected situations happen. If a student gets understandably upset or too frustrated, they will be muted until ready to participate in the class. Please be sure to read the rules with your child(ren) for a fun and fair gaming experience.

I've been teaching gaming classes for over two years.   I've learned keeping rules is a great for the best of everyone's interest.  It not only makes things more fun when everyone is on the same page, but it reinforces good manners, integrity, and sportsmanship.
