TASK
To build a Maths game with:
-German language in it
-An element of chance in it
GUIDELINES
Your game will reappear in Maths, later in the year, where it will be used within a Maths assessment task.
Your game must be able to be played by students of German, Chinese, Indonesian and Literacy.
Therefore:
Your German terms must be explained clearly. Common formats are a legend or key or list, where the terms are translated into English.
You may not be there when your game is played, therefore you must include instructions. The instructions must be crystal clear to somebody picking it up for the first time.
MUST-HAVES
An explanation of your German terms
Very clear step-by-step instructions
All game pieces (if you are using counters or dice from the Maths department, state this in your instructions)
MAY-HAVES
You may include Chinese and Indonesian terms as well as German: this is a way of explaining your German. You will still need to cater for Literacy students, so think about an English-English option if your game depends on translations. An example is finding synonyms or defining a word.
COMMON GAME FORMATS
Successful games in the past have been variations of
Board games:
Snakes and Ladders
Monopoly
Card games:
Uno
Memory / Go Fish
Snap (try the German version: Schnipp-Schnapp)
This game is not assessed in your German course. It will be used later in the year for a Maths assessment.
