Braniac Intermediate Addition



Have you ever been playing a game and had the thought of “ This game really sucks” or “this game is so boring?” Well Erin, Robyn, and I have created a fun and very educational game for all the kids in grade 7 and up! Our game is something we have put hours into and we really think you will like. It’s board is based on our very own school, which all you have to do is roll a dice, answer a question or two in every room then if you answer the question right you have to collect a game piece and go to the next room and do the same.  At first Robyn and Erin had a different idea and were going to make a scrapbook. I at that time was going to make an app, but after a few days we all realized that our ideas really weren’t working. So than we all sat there thinking of something to do. We then joined together and Mr.Brock had the best idea he said “ how about you make a game board on the grade 7 curriculum.”  And that is exactly what we did.  First we decided what the game was going to be like. We made it so that you have to go to every room in the school and answer questions on the grade 7 curriculum and collect a specific game piece for each room. Than we started making questions and gameboard. Once that was done we had to write out every card out, go over them with black marker, and then colour the cards, and write on the back. That took one sleepover and 2 periods or more to finish. The things I like about this project are that we all worked hard and equally on this project there wasn’t one person ever doing more work than the other. Also it brought us closer to one another and we found out what pushes each others buttons. The things I might change about our project where our game board would have been coloured and erased a bit better and we could have found a different way to make the cards so we didn’t use as many materials. Over all I had a really great time with Robyn and Erin and I would definitely work with them again. So if you want to play a fun game about the grade 7 curriculum then be sure to play

  3. You had all the steps, but you need to check over some of your capitals.

  4. Arly, very thorough description of your project and the process for creating it. You gave a great deal of detail about the considerations that were made prior to settling on this particular idea.. I had some hand in it at the beginning, but your group took it in a really interesting direction. I really like your reflections about some of the ways you had to alter the game as it progressed, about things you might change, and especially about the group dynamic. I am really glad to hear that you were satisfied with your group's ability to get along, and share the load equally. The final product was excellent, and I really hope that some of the skills you have cultivated here will be helpful down the road. MrB
