Developing an Instructional Game

40 points
Name (s): Brianon Burke

Now that you have researched and evaluated instructional games and determined what criteria are most
important, you will use that knowledge to develop a game.
Review: What criteria do you feel are most important when developing an instructional game?
1. Students investigate connections between topics
2. Students recall information to solve problems with a variety of complexity levels.
3. Students synthesize information from a variety of different topics
4. Students have concrete goals to achieve
Process: You will approach the development of the game as an instructional designer. You must think of your
objectives, correlating standards, TPACK, ASSURE, and more.
TRY to think OUTSIDE the BOX!
Game ideas: Digital camera, I spy, matching | QR code hunts, WebQuests, Photo hunt with Google

1. On what content area and topic will you focus?
I will use this quiz game to review, reflect, and synthesize upon the various theater standards we have
used throughout the semester. This game will helps asses whether they understand the standards and
why we use them in the class.
2. On which standards will you focus?
Theater Standards I- VI
3. Write an appropriate objective.
Students will be able to identify the standards and how they are used throughout the classroom.
4. Create an outline, story board, or summary of your game idea(s). What will you use to create your
game? What are the themes or concepts? What do you hope the final product will look like?
Im planning on hosting the game on Kahoot. The main standards and how we use them will be shown
throughout the quiz. Students will be asked to reflect on their own experience with each standard
throughout the game. In between each question on Kahoot the teacher will ask discussion questions that
asks students to engage with the content (and possibly prepare them for the upcoming review questions).
Make your outline here:
PRIOR TO GAME: Explain to students who are unfamiliar with the interface how the game functions. Each
student connects to the game either through the app on their device or through the website. To join this specific
game, students enter in the code that will be displayed on the screen, choosing a user name for which they will
be identified. Points are calculated by how fast students respond and whether they choose the correct answer.

BEGINNING: Go over who each of the standards and what they mean.
Transition into questions asking about each standard and how we use them in the classroom.
END: Which standard is the most important to you and how can we improve on this?
