How to use Game Jam in your class

These are just examples. Feel free to have your students use any materials they think they could use. They can even use recyclable materials like bottle caps for game pieces. Another great resource is talking with your school's art teacher(s). 

• Access to internet so students can research topics on water pollution

• Paper (printer, construction, cardstock, etc.)

• Writing utlencils (pens, pencils, markers, crayons, etc.)

• Paints and paint brushes 

• Old game pieces (go to yard sales, thrift shops, etc.)

• Spinners

• Dice (various sided)

• Stickers

• Buttons

• Etc. 

Summative Assessments

The summative assessment will ultimately be the students' Game Jam Projects. If you want to challenge students you can also have them respond to a short prompt that shows what they learned about water pollution. 

Example Question: How can we reduce the human impacts on water pollution.
