The 6th graders are rotating in groups of 7 or 8 and spending four classes focused on strategy games. After they learn the basics of game etiquette and the rules of a game they split up and play with two or three other students.
Examples of focus questions to consider while playing are:
What is the probability of getting a sum when rolling two dice?
Can you design a new record sheet for Clue that will help you to be a better player?
One group has taken the game of Carcassonne and added elements from Risk and Stratego to create their own game.
