Create
a Game - Outcome A (10-30)-11
Organize the students into groups and give them
class time to invent, change, or add to a game they have been playing.
Encourage the students to consider what would
make the game more fun, challenging or fair. Some examples are changes
to the ball type, the boundaries, the goals, or the ways that points
are scored. Ask the students to think about how these changes would
make the game better.

Criteria for Creating a Game |
Have each group create a new game and teach it
to another group. Both groups then play this version of the game
and decide if more modifications should be made.
The same process applies for the second group
teaching their game to the first group.
Each group provides a written version or poster
of their game, as well as a catchy name for their new game.
Each group then teaches their version of the game
and the rest of the class plays it for a short period of time. The
class should have an opportunity to provide feedback to the games
creators.
Sample questions could
include:
- Was the game fun? Why
or why not?
- What would you change,
and why?
- What was the best thing
about this new game? Why?
This activity can be used following any type of
game.
Have the students come up with a new game using
a combination of any games they already know. Allow a half class
for each group to set up and teach their game.

are clues that you have reached the outcomes ...
Students show consideration of others ability
levels while creating their games.
Students complete the written description or poster.
