Book Description | Make games fun again! Students love games, but unfortunately, games are often taught in ways that alienate or exclude less-skilled students. Or worse yet, students find the games boring because they have no voice in how the games are played. "Student-Designed Games", lets students discover why rules are important, but also gives them the freedom to change rules by changing elements of the games they play. This creates unique games that present new tactical problems that players must solve or overcome. This is the perfect book to keep students on their toes by giving them the challenge to be creative and inclusive, but most importantly to have fun. |
About the Author | Peter Hastie is a professor in the department of kinesiology at Auburn University and teaches student-designed games in both schools and universities. He has also researched the potential of student designed games to help students become more engaged in physical education. |
