Using Gamification to Teach Kids With the Game Plan Game (Audio Only) | Perceptive Podcast
4For this interview, I spoke with Elle and Lisa who are the creators of the Gameplan Game, a board game that uses gamification to help teach kids life skills and important lessons about the development of it, and lessons learned about making something for a younger audience.
After introductions, we talked about designing the gameplan game: where the original concept came from, and the redesigns that took place. Elle and Lisa spoke about the people they referred to who helped them with coming up with lessons, the look of the game, and more.
