Remote Lesson on Creating a Game
Overview
This lesson allows students a quick view of Bo-Taoshi, a Japanese military training exercise. They will then be challenged to create their own game using items they create, or have at home.
Remote Learning Create a Game Challenge
You may want to give students an example. Here is mine:
Form I used to collect responses:
This week, we will watch a new game and create a game of our own!
Have you ever play Bao-Taoshi? Watch this!
For many reasons, we won't be playing this game. After all, we are not training in the Japanese military. So, why did we watch this? It is a great example of a game unrelated to traditional team sports. Instead, you will be creating a gmae of your own and playing it.
You will
1. Create a Game that does not exist in a game book or on the internet.
- Name the Game
- Use equipment you have at home or can make.
- Write up the Rules: include boundaries, scoring, equpment, team sizes, a "fun factor", safety guidelines and possible variations.
- Create a "How To" video which includes a real example of the game being played.
2. Complete this weeks activity log. You will include some thoughts about Bo-Taoshi and upload your video!
I am excited to see all the unique game ideas you have, but even more excited to watch you having fun playing them! Get out there!
