Presentation
Having Fun Experiential Learning
This innovative workshop demonstrates how to transform everyday board games into powerful experiential learning tools, using Sorry! as an example. Participants become living game pieces in this life-sized adaptation, where classic Sorry! Cards drive interactive activities and meaningful learning moments. This practical demonstration shows residential life professionals how to create engaging programming using readily available, budget-friendly board games they already have on hand. By reimagining Sorry! as a full-scale activity, the workshop provides a concrete template for turning simple games into dynamic educational experiences that can easily be implemented in any boarding program. This approach not only maximizes existing resources but also creates memorable, interactive experiences that resonate with students while keeping programming costs minimal.
