A-level students will learn a range of skills during any of our workshops. The Biology Game and design-your-own game are highly recommended to improve teamwork, student-led learning, and communication in your school.
Biotical: the game of resistance
An exciting and informative disease game which helps students understand the difference between bacterial and viral infections.
During gameplay, students encounter a variety of different infections and have the choice as to whether they take antibiotics.
This encourages conversations on superbugs and how our society is overprescribing antibiotics as well as the future of medicine.

Reaction! The Chemistry Card Trading Game
A fun interactive game helping students explore the properties of everyday materials and negotiation skills.
Reaction! is a vibrant board game that combines negotiation skills, basic chemistry, and stock market dynamics. Players assess their cards, trade blindly, and aim for eight identical cards to win.
Students will be asked to give their own ideas on “What makes a sustainable building material?” and learn why materials like wood, metal and glass are so useful.
Students discuss reactions being irreversible (such as RUST) and reversible (such as ICE). The game’s bright colours and clear illustrations make it accessible for all ages.
Best for KS1 and KS2

Create your very own board game!
A 3-hour workshop with expert game-makers for children or adults to learn how to create their own educational board game
Students will be asked to plan, design and create their own board games.
They’ll have the beginnings of a game which they can take home and continue to develop.
The full workshop:
Each team will need to collaborate to make one game with instructions, basic mechanics, and a rough design. We will take turns to play and demonstrate the games by having teams switch to opposing teams’ tables. By the end, each group will have the beginnings of a game which they can take home and continue to develop or photograph for future projects.
The game subject can be anything from a History topic, Science, Maths or Language. You decide!
5 KEY SKILLS COVERED
Critical Thinking
Students learn new skills in conceptualising, analysing and evaluating information gathered from their own observations, experiences, and reasoning to come up with a brand-new game!
Creativity
Students will get to come up with their own out-of-the-box ideas for the game and challenge what is possible, based on the subject or unit you choose.
Logical Mathematics
The workshop involves pattern and sequencing mechanics in order to teach students about logical working game mechanics.
Teamwork and communication
Students will work in teams to challenge their communication and collaboration skills when producing and making a brand-new game.
Student-led Learning
Students will be directing their own learning when creating a game with support from our staff. Giving you a break from teaching!
Suitable for Ages 8 + or KS2 +
