Game logistics:
-
Evenly divide the class into 5 groups.
-
Dispatch 8 Energy Points to each group.
-
Brief the class on how to play the game.
-
Guide the class to the first checkpoint (Korea).
-
Upon arrival at the checkpoint, ask each group to choose, from the game board at random, one out of the five scenario cards available for the checkpoint.
-
After all groups have selected a scenario card, teachers can go through the chosen scenario one by one.
-
Based on the instructions on the scenario card, the teacher adds or deducts energy points to or from each group.
-
Proceed through all the checkpoints in turn.
-
Once the last checkpoint (Hong Kong) is completed, calculate the energy points that each group has collected after passing through all 5 checkpoints. The group with the most points is the winner. Draw attention to any groups that have no points; these have failed to complete the migration.
-
Debrief the whole class (please refer to "Suggested debriefing"), highlighting the key conservation and ESD messages
N.B.: Teachers will find supplementary SD information on the back of each card that relates to each scenario.
