Camp Breakdown
Day 1 - That's How We Roll
During the first day, students will play and analyze the design of classic "Roll and Move" board games. Then students will brainstorm the theme, and rules for their very own roll and move game.
Day 2 - Make a card! Any card!
Students will use the rules and theme they created in session 1 as a guide to design game assets using Canva. They will learn to quickly draft game board, card, and piece prototypes.
Day 3 - Choose Your Own Mechanics
Students will learn about types of board games that go beyond roll and move. They will explore different win conditions and game mechanics. Then they will begin working on making a more advanced version of their game.
Day 4 - Board Game Bonanza
Students will present their board game drafts for the class!
