About This Activity
What happens when you combine great literature, exciting games, and the creativity of being a game designer? A class where every week brings a new adventure! Designed for 3rd-6th Graders, this hands-on class brings language arts to life through a new short-form literature experience each week. Students might solve a mystery, perform a Reader’s Theater drama, explore an Aesop’s Fable, meet an inspiring person through biography, step into history through a historical drama, discover poetry, and much more! Along the way, students strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, inference, critical thinking, character analysis, communication, and other essential language arts skills through engaging discussion and interactive activities. Then it’s time to play! Students will play and analyze board and card games while learning about strategy, game mechanics, teamwork, problem-solving, and what makes a game fun and fair. The ultimate challenge? Designing their own original board game! Students choose any topic they love—from dinosaurs and space to sports, history, animals, or fantasy—and then brainstorm, create, test, and refine their game entirely during class. And if making friends is one of your goals, this class naturally provides wonderful opportunities to build new friendships and strengthen existing HEAT friendships through game play, teamwork, partner activities, and plenty of interactive fun. No homework! Already took this class in the fall semester? Get ready for a completely new format, with all-new literature experiences and a brand-new approach to game design! Come read, play, create, connect, and make something amazing!
