Energy Savers!
Introduction
A class game is an enjoyable way for pupils to learn about the link between their energy use and global warming. This activity aims to encourage pupils' individual literacy, numeracy and artistry skills whilst building their ability to work as part of a team.
There is a simple game board included, although the class may wish to design and make their own board. The instruction cards and energy saving stars are also included.
Game Rules
- Pupils should form into small groups (the group number will depend on the class size) and work as separate teams.
- Each team has a throw of the die; the team with the highest number starts first.
- Teams throw the die and move the number of spaces the die shows.
- When a team lands on a space with an instruction card a team member must read aloud to the class what his/her team has to do.
- If a team is awarded energy saving stars they are collected from the teacher and kept until the end of the game.
- All teams must complete the game. At the end of the game the energy stars of each team are collected and counted. The team with the most energy stars is the winner!
