Quest 13: Make Your Game Quiz Copy

Make Your Game Quiz

The world is on the brink of disaster!  Is your quest ready to help save it? 

Almost!

Now that you’ve identified your player types, outlined your objectives, framed your narrative, and quilled your quest, you need to create your assessment. Create a game quiz for your subject area (or any topic that you’ve chosen for your lesson) that:

• • • Motivates a wide range of players
    • Meets your objective
    • Moves your story forward

For example, for a narrative about a ragtag team of scientists who have to decode a secret message about the meaning of relative time before aliens use their giant energy gun to convert the earth’s mass into light, you could create a model ProProfs Brain Game word scramble about Einstein’s theory of special relativity.   You could then have students design their own games (of any type) that address a specific lesson objective, like “students will be able to demonstrate how gravity relates to time.” It doesn’t have to be digital.  You may decide to modify a board game or create your own.

Adventure Choices

This is it!  Today you’re going to get to build!  Every quest must include an assessment to measure whether your learners met your target.  And now you know that assessments can be fun!  The first step in your ascent to independent world-saving quest design is to create a game quiz about a gamification topic.

Choice plays a huge role in our enjoyment of interactive materials like the amazingly successful Choose Your Own Adventure books. In the series, YOU are the hero, and the choices you make determine the outcome of the story. Teaching and learning can be like that.  Inspire an inquiry mindset in your learners, and they’ll pursue their answers with enthusiasm equal to the autonomy you provide.

In this quest, YOU further your inquiry into the world of game thinking.  Check the Game Quiz Submissions (below) for ideas.
