Civics Game Info For 9 Weeks Test
Our new game is called "What Are They Thinkin'?" It helps the player learn about the basic philosophies of the political parties. There will be two or three levels, each with a candidate from a different party. One candidate of a certain political party will give a speech that tells the general beliefs of that party. After the speech is over, there will be a "Where's Waldo" type search for items that relate to that party's beliefs. This makes the game both fun and educational, two aspects that most games can't usually combine.

Great idea! Will you just focus on democrats and republicans, or will you also include 3rd party candidates? I'm really excited to read your blog as you make drafts of these different speeches!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, we are making one third party candidate. We're also trying to add some humor to the game, so we made the third party candidate a pirate, the democrat a hippy, and the republican an old bald guy.
