Description
Anyone can design board games for kids with the Ultimate Board Game Creator kit!
Having ideas is the easy bit. A board game can literally be about anything. Anything at all. It’s designing the board, the pieces, the cards, and making all the bits, where it becomes hard work, and enthusiasm can start to drop.
Not anymore! With the Board Game Creator kit, kids can customise it as much or as little as they like. It gives them the flexibility to play with their ideas and make them great, while giving their game a strong foundation to get it off to a great start.
There’s so much learning in making board games for kids. From the creativity of the brainstorming process, making decisions, assessing and making adjustments, to the maths and literacy involved in making the game. It’s holistic, real life learning that has meaning, and draws more out of kids.
It’s also a great way to extend a subject they’re interested in or investigating, and give them an opportunity to share their interests and knowledge with their friends and family in a really fun way!
It’s so easy to apply their ideas quickly to a board design to see how it works, adjust how many actions they need, or change how the points work. Once they’ve got the bones of the game they can have a lot of fun developing the story around it with characters and illustrations. It’s up to them.
This kit will give them everything they need to develop the prototype of a real, playable game.
Going further: Students could take it through a digital design process once they have a working prototype, and the opportunity to explore 3D design and different materials to create game components.
