- 2. GAME-BASED LEARNING • Whyplay games? Games can… • Increase student engagement & motivation and reduce undesirable behaviors, such as off-task smartphone use • Provide real-time feedback to the learner • Give ample opportunities to practice; repetition strengthens memory and long-term learning
- 3. WEREWORDS BY TED ALSPACH •Time needed to play: 10 MIN • Essentially “Twenty Questions” but a few twists, including hidden identities • 2 teams: • Werewolf team – tries to prevent the other team from discovering the secret word • Villager/mayor/seer team – tries to discover the secret word
- 4. INTRODUCTION TO WEREWORDS •Take the mayor card and combine it with the cards highlighted by the app; from that subset, set one villager aside, in the center of the table. • Shuffle the deck and give each player a card. • Everyone look privately at their card; ONLY mayor flips card to reveal publicly. Mayor takes villager card in middle of play. • Mayor knows secret word, but can’t say anything; instead guides other players by pointing to statements on the play mat (yes, no, maybe, so close, correct). • Seer and werewolves strive to keep their identities secret from the opposing team; if discovered, it could cause them to lose the game. • Seer knows secret word, helps to discretely lead villagers to identify the secret word. • Werewolves know secret word, discretely try to lead villagers away from secret word, and discover the identity of the seer.
- 5. WEREWORDS END GAME MECHANICS •Word guessed: werewolf team guesses who is seer, if right, werewolf team wins. If wrong, villager/mayor/seer team wins. • Word NOT guessed: group discusses who may be werewolves, vote by pointing, if majority points at a werewolf, villager/mayor/seer wins.
- 6. HOW TO MAKEA GAME • Start with a game you know • Keep a written record of all of your ideas, notes, rules, etc. • Get some cardstock and full-page sticker paper for prototyping • Prototype, prototype, prototype • Double the time you expect it will take—both to make and play the game • Simple mechanics are better*
