Mini-Games 10:45am

Mini-challenges that don't necessarily have to fit your theme, can produce a quick sense of accomplishment, give your game a boost.

I like to use all kinds of different mini-games to spice up our classroom and our game. I bring in fun board and card games from home, we do mini-engineering challenges in groups, we play Kahoot! and Quizlet Live, etc. We also do Boss Battles and Mega Boss Battles using Sumdog (a math app).

Are there short design challenges that you could do in the classroom with minimal time?

Does your class play Kahoot or Quizlet Live? If so, how could you tie that into your game?

Is there a way you could tie Boss Battles or Mega Boss Battles into your classroom?
