Planet Play: Board Game Prototype

Prototype and framework of an educational board game, intended as a learning tool for elementary school students in grades 3-5. Planet Play educates and empowers children, encouraging them to make sustainable decisions and take environmentally responsible actions. Researched and designed through a multi-layered and participatory process – based on best practices and examples of existing environmental and educational board games – as well as the pan-Canadian elementary school science curriculum.
