Week 10 - Play: Outline a plan for using gamification in a school library

As I am not the most creative person, nor spontaneous; this is a challenge for me.

I know that reading programs are popular and worthwhile. I would probably work along this somehow and maybe try and make a week of activities. This could involve class visits to the libraries and getting some information on what’s offered. Sounds boring, but it can’t be all fun and games!

Speaking of fun and games, you could make it more interesting by having a free dress day as your favourite fictional or historical character and maybe a massive treasure hunt all over the school with everyone being involved.

Book Week would probably be a good week to have it in as there are lots of activities already in place. On the other hand, maybe a week without anything special just to make school a bit more interesting.

Prizes could be book vouchers, iTunes vouchers, actual iPods or ebook readers.

To be honest, I can’t really be bothered going much further than this as it would all depend on the school and age group as to the specifics.


Also, I have other, bigger assignments to work on, and unfortunately, I can’t spend all day designing a game for a school library (I would for two people though, great teacher librarians who deserve all the earthly praise in the world!).
