Question 1. Mike and Robyn put together several games and activities to help their students understand the concepts they needed to know for Space Camp. Games work with concepts and skills and can deepen student understanding. Game-based learning is one way to help our students learn content in a more interactive manner.
Your assignment is to choose a concept you wish to teach and design a game to use as a teaching tool. This can be a board game, card game, some type of building game; let your imagination run wild. The one thing it cannot be is an online game or computer based game.
You will make a one page handout for this assignment. Make this as a Microsoft Word Document and upload it to the Discussion Board. The required information on the handout is:
The name of the game.
The purpose of the game; set an objective. For example, "Students will strengthen multiplication skills by ___________________." The blank would be filled in with the detail of the game
