ELC Game Jam 2025 (4).pdfGame Jam 2026
This year, the Game Jam will run again for the 4th year, with over 85% of primary schools taking part last year. The Game Jam exposes primary learners to the world of Game Design. Through 15 recorded lessons, learners will explore some of the key features associated with building a game, including sprites, backgrounds, storylines, scoring systems and levels. Last year's cohort expressed their wish for the theme to be more flexible; therefore, this year's theme will be free choice, empowering the creation of any style of game they wish. This may also provide teachers with the opportunity to build this project into an already existing topic planned for the new year.
Suitable for P4-P7, the Game Jam enables learners to put their coding skills to the test through simple block coding on Scratch. Teachers can set up an account and authorise learner accounts through the simple steps outlined here.
The Game Jam will begin in January 2026 and run right through till May 2026. Planning for the games can begin at any time though through using the design brief document to start developing ideas.

The e-learning modules are available at two levels: informed and skilled. The ‘informed’ level applies to any practitioner providing services to the public, especially those likely to come in contact with children, young people and/or their families. The ‘informed’ module may also be helpful for others who wish to gain a general understanding about ‘Getting it right for every child’. The ‘skilled’ level applies to any practitioner likely to come in contact with babies, infants, children, young people and/or their families and carers, especially those working directly with them. The ‘skilled’ module may also be helpful for others who wish to gain more depth of understanding about ‘Getting it right for every child’.
