We're thrilled to by collaborating with the fantastic team at the Christchurch City Library Service. Together, we're bringing our Game Design Foundation classes for 6-9yr olds to Christchurch's libraries starting this June!Our classes help young minds develop interpersonal skills and grasp common game mechanics and design elements through traditional and contemporary board games. Designed and led by qualified New Zealand teaching staff, these sessions foster a passion for non-digital gaming while honing pro-social skills like cooperation and problem-solving.
This class is designed to help young children develop interpersonal skills and an understanding of common game mechanics and design elements through playing a range of traditional and contemporary board games. Students use this developing understanding of game design to remix modified versions of games that reflect either their identity and interests or the identity and interests of a stakeholder they identify.
The experience of playing games, reflecting on the experience and making changes to enhance the experience is intended to foster a passion for non-digital gaming and develop pro-social skills (helping, caring, cooperating) and cognitive competencies (problem solving, reasoning). This class has been designed and is hosted by qualified New Zealand teaching staff.
Classes are $7.50 per child per class. Spaces are limited to 8 participants per class, so booking ahead is recommended.
