International Friendship Day: How to make friends (and then plunder their gold!) (Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 5)
Jul
Celebrate International Friendship Day by exploring how we navigate friendships and trust by playing Bards and Bandits!
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
Friendship is an important gateway to building bonds, developing camaraderie and trust between people, which ultimately forms the communities in which we live. We tend not to think very much about trust as being essential to friendship, but when you pay attention, you notice that trust is everywhere. The world is built on trust and without trust there is no friendship.
Celebrate International Friendship Day with Arludo’s Director of Games, Andrew Harris. Together, students will play the online game Bards & Bandits, organically testing their intuitions and ideas about who to trust and why to trust them, and developing social strategies to emerge victorious! How will they amass the greatest treasure? By plundering their enemies? Or by trusting their friends?
Students then interpret the real-time game data from this session to discuss and learn about how trust is built and lost, reputation and consequences, risk and reward, and ultimately develop a better understanding of building friendships through trust, their peers and the world around them.
Learn all about the risks and rewards of cooperation and competition in this thrilling game for the whole class.
