LOTS of progress to share

 I realize I have not kept up with this blog! AHHH. Here are ALL of my updates.


Most recent critique- working on a prototype for a board game using a game of Life that I found from the 80s at a thrift store. So far I started using the same layout of the board and placing sticky notes on it that I have reworded for my game but want to push this further and scan the board and print out an image of it and then re-work that board that way. Also still considering how to include a workbook element and think I will continue with that in the form of an instruction manual that would accompany the game with some information and activities in it as well! This was a great idea that I got in critique.



I'm also in touch with two 3rd grade teachers at Burns Park Elementary who are interested in letting me come into the classroom for research so that will hopefully be happening in the next few weeks. I am waiting to hear back from them this week and will follow up with them! 

Continuing along doing research and reading. Also my studio space is complete and is so fun and inspiring. See pic below!

Pic below I kept tactile elements from the game of life as a way to see if this would keep kids engaged and they did like them so I think this is something I will want to replicate in my own board game. I went with a candy land strategy where there is color association between the spaces and the cards they have to draw and it worked really well! There are also game chips that represent the "danger meter," which I think was the most successful part of the game. I presented this to two 3rd grade classes for a play test and it went amazing!!! Here are my notes below Ms. Cornish class: kids aren't reading the full information on the cards- not reading the informational tid bits at the bottom (too much info on the card?) the arrows on the hills were treated as single spaces they got excited when a...
