Let's play the most popular fantasy role playing game of all time, Dungeons & Dragons!  

This character creation workshop and campaign is for younger kids who have no experience or limited experience with Dungeons & Dragons and role-playing games in general.  In this class learners from 7 to 10 will use a simplified version of the Dungeons & Dragons rules to create an original character.  We will then take the characters on quests to prove how brave and valiant they are!

This class will be highly interactive.  We will begin with a short overview of what a role playing game is, and what sets it apart from other games.  Using decision making and cost/benefit evaluations, we will decide upon and create characters.  

In our first class we will create our own Dungeons & Dragons characters.  We will be strengthening our math, writing, and decision making skills as we decide on what sort of character we'd like to play.

In the following meetings we will take our brand new characters through some short quests.  These adventures will give the characters to learn more about the game as well as use their hero's special abilities.

Besides working on math, reading, and verbal skills, role playing games give us a chance to learn skills like team work, creative problem solving, and communication skills.  We will also learn that actions have consequences, so choices that the players make will effect the game.
