It's a Brand New Game
You might be familiar with the Real Game but now it has gone digital! It is played by students in Grade 7 or 8 and beyond in thousands of settings. With the Spin Game, Definitions Game, Wish List, What's My Line, After Work, Slice of Life, Reality Check, Realizing My Dream, and more accessible online 24/7, players have more fun, and they learn more. Preparation is easier for facilitators and less classroom or group time is required.
Environmental education, character education, civic and community links, essential workplace skills, and academic subject links are interwoven into the virtual community players create together in TRG 2.1. More than ever, players can vividly imagine and experience (through role-playing) the future they wish to create for themselves. They discover, for themselves, how important success in school (academic, personal and social) is to achieving their dreams. They become more intentional and purposeful in constructing their future. They become more engaged, responsible and environmentally-aware citizens.
