Place-based projects are hands-on, real-world learning experiences. They help youth:
- Connect with their community.
- Appreciate the natural world.
- See themselves as active contributing citizens.
- Do better in school.
In this project, youth will plan a non-competitive game that takes players to different locations around their community, like a scavenger hunt. The locations they choose will highlight a special theme the youth want to learn more about, strengthening their sense of belonging. Through the game, players will go on a fun adventure to explore the community.
The full activity plan includes an overview of the whole project as well as separate instructions for different parts of the project:
Pick a theme- Brainstorm locations
- Design the game
- Research locations
- Lay out the game – visually
- Pilot test and revise
- Promote the game
