Rules
• How are learner groupings going to be?
Will they be named somehow?
• What kind or markers are used?
• How do players know how many spaces to
move?
• What do the different symbols on the
board stand for?
• What type of scoring element is there?
• How is the winner decided?
• Which is the ultimate objective of the
game?
Designing games
Write down the rules of the game

• Do the rules make sense? Do they

work?
• Do they ensure there’s a fair
chance for every group?
• Are the rules clear enough or will
they give rise to potentially
frustrating situations?
• Is the goal clearly defined?
Designing games
Organization Matters

• Which “Ludic Principles” are involved in the game?

• Is there an element of chance, strategy, physical
skill?
• Is there “mystery”, uncertainty?
• How is the use of English going to be ensured?
• Does the game involve V.A.K.O.G. (visual, auditory,
kinesthetic, olfatory, gustatory) elements?
• Which equipment & material
is needed?
