Create a Game of Life

by Kariya Hunter, Sophomore in Communication Design, CSU Monterey Bay

One of the lesson plans we have created for students is a Recycling "Game of Life" This is an interactive and engaging activity that will build students' knowledge of the recycling rules in their community and hopefully encourage them to adopt these practices into their everyday lives. In this lesson, students will research recycling guidelines in their community and create a game board filled with these guidelines, as well as facts about recycling in general. After creating the game board, students can play against each other in class. This activity combines research, friendly competition, and art to ensure that there is a component that every student will enjoy.
