The Game of Life

There are a lot of ways to think about life -- some think that life is a game, and how you live it is how you play it.

In this unit, we are going to create our own game
"The Life according to . . . "

There are going to be several elements to this unit:
  1. Playing games
  2. Game Analysis
  3. Game review writing
  4. Game making

The this unit begins is with memory . . . .

What do you remember about playing games?

What games did you play as a child with parents, siblings, friends, relatives, and by yourself.

Assignment 1.
On your blog, write your Autobiography of Play.
Think back and ask questions about your life from the very beginning. Ask people who were there at the beginning what games you played with caregivers -- peek -a- boo on up to now.

List where you played, with whom, where , when, and why you like some games and what you don't like.
