Description:Test and experience three different maze races (Labyrinth games) in just 60 minutes. The maze races are pedagogical activities designed and inspired by using board games or digital games narratives to conduct playful, physical and social learning activities. The learning activities combines playful learning, digital materials and physical activity.
What will you be doing in this session:
In the present workshop, participants are invited to try out and experience three different maze races. The three different themes presented are; a detective game, a wizard game, and a last man standing game.
The maze races is developed by transforming board games, movie themes and digital games into playful, physical and social learning activities.
In the detective maze race you will either take the role of person X or the role of a detective. The goal for the detectives is to locate the exact location of person X who is running around trying not to get caught.
In the wizard game, all participant have to collect magic items and solve magical tasks in order to defeat a common enemy.
In the last man standing game participants are challenging each other while solving different secret tasks in order to survive the longest and be the last man standing.
All the maze races are designed by using a pedagogical tool called the play activity wheel. The play activity wheel is a pedagogocial tool for (re)designing game universes into playful, physical, social learning activities. It helps (re)designers to frame and capture different elements from board games, digital games
or television shows i.e. game elements, play activity elements and play media elements.
When attendees leave this session they will have:
I hope that all participants will get inspired to create their own pedagogical actiity inspired by either board
games, television shows or digital games.
I hope that all participants will be encouraged to implement playful learning, digital materials and physical
activity when conducting or facilitating learning activities.
