Story Board Games
The Methodology...
Story Board Games are designed to allow students to apply information from the lesson to new topics. In these games, students make decisions they believe will be most beneficial to their character(s). Winners are determined by the students after the game is completed. These games promote the development of critical thinking skills, as students must consider multiple options simultaneously.
