Creating an Educational Game

This week our focus was to create an educational game and utilize a cloaking script.  At first I had trouble coming up with a topic but that is the usual case for me.  I finally decided to teach students about the Tower of London by creating a visual display that features photos of actual Beefeaters that live and guard the Tower of London.  Once I created my display, my next challenge was coming up with questions to ask and ensure that the cloaking script worked.  I had a little trouble in making the script work but in the end, I figured it out.  Thanks for the pointers Cheryl!

Here are some photos that I took of my display which I titled, "The Beefeater Game."

I hope that you enjoyed my tour of the Beefeater game.  I can definitely see the potential of introducing a gaming idea like this in a classroom setting.  I think that children would enjoy playing this game and they would learn at the same time, which is the overall goal of the exercise.
