In this 5-day camp, we will make Among Us themed crafts and play the game Among Us by private server. I really excited about the crafts and game that I have designed to coordinate what the game. 

Half of each class will be spent working on a craft or playing bingo. The second half of the class will be spent playing the video game.

The non-game activity each day will be as follows:

Monday- drawing figures
Tuesday- paint large 3D paper figurine
Wednesday- finish 3D paper figurine, make play doh figurine
Thursday- Among Us bingo
Friday- toilet tissue roll craft

Our method of play will be adapted to be suitable for this age group to allow us to talk during game play and have verbal meetings so that we can avoid using chat.

Among Us is a “social deduction” collaborative game. One or more of these players is an Imposter sabotaging the game and killing Crew Mates. Crew Mates have tasks around their ship to complete.

Players can have meetings and vote on who they believe the Imposter is. Whoever receives the most votes is dejected from the game. Dejected and killed players become ghosts who can also complete tasks. Ghosts and Imposters can travel around the ship by going through walls. Imposters can also travel through vents. 

The goal of the game is to complete all of the tasks on the ship before the number of imposters equal the number of surviving Crew Mates. Tasks are things like flipping switches, reconnecting wiring and directing the spaceship. There is a map and arrows directing you to tasks that need to be completed.

I will be playing the game and teaching from separate devices so that I can watch the Zoom classroom through Outschool and also view and play the game from a second screen. It is easiest for students to also have a second device to play the game from.

I can screen share the game from my second device to students if they have questions.

Generally, this game is played online with strangers. Strangers would be able to communicate with players through chat. We will be playing in a private game with no strangers. 

Students will need to download the app and set up a profile before class.

In this camp, you will be able to allow your learner to safely play this game each week with a group of their peers in privately hosted games. This will be a private game only accessible to people who register for this class through Outschool. I have experience playing this game with my own child and supervising her playing this game with others. 

It might be necessary for me to miss class and schedule a Saturday makeup class at the usual class time if my 6-year-old daughter is scheduled to work (modeling and acting). She typically has one booking per month taking up part of a day. That part of the day may or may not fall during this class. 

The class rules are:
Be kind
Mute yourself if you have background noise so that we can hear each other
Give everyone a chance to speak
Don’t talk over your friends
If you’d like to speak next and someone is already talking, you can raise your hand so I can make sure you are next.
