Boardgame
You are the game piece in this GIANT board game!!! 15 to 25 players can join you! To win, you will need communication skills, inclusion spirit a, and of course a lucky die. Why THIS game? It can be easily adapted to any topic, target group or context.
- Acknowledge diversity as a positivity to the advancement of any community.
- Players will explore the sense of belonging to a group
- Players will explore the importance of each member in the group
- Players will recognize the productivity as result of collaboration and inclusion
Players are divided into 2 heterogeneous groups of 5 (or 4 groups of 5)
- They throw the die to decide who starts first.
- The group with the highest number begins.
- One player will be the “piece” on the board
- Each group moves the piece according to the number they get.
- If a group lands exactly on a square that shows an image a group of people holding hands, then they have to complete a task from the group set. If the group completes the task successfully, they move all the way up to the flag square.
- The “piece” player can not help his team in the task. If the group discovered that they need him; than another “piece” player will be used.
- If a group lands exactly on a square that shows an image of one person, they assign one player from the group to do the task (the facilitator tells the players the type of task ahead, so they assign someone who could do it e.g athletic tasks- mathematics- general info. …) .
- If the player completes the task, the group moves forward to the flag square.
- If they do not complete the task (both individual and group tasks), they stay in their place.
- The group that reaches the last square first wins.
Participants will:
-Identify effective communication, participation, and inclusion as keys to advancement.
