Week 3

Rules, Strategy and Tactics

Define / Ideate

In class today we learnt about the importance of rules, strategy and tactics within a game/ play space. In order for our game structure to run smoothly we need to think about the rules of play within the game to keep the children interested.

One of the exercises in class involved everyone writing down rules for a game and we were then given a random context for the play space. With the context and the rules we came up with, we have to create a game to present to the class next week.

The rules we had were:

• Everyone must act as an animal at all times
• Everyone can only hop on one leg at all times
• No talking - only animal noises
• Everyone must be touching one person in their team at all times

The context for our game is Mario Kart 64.
