Board Game - Concept
This project was done at the NGO, Katha in New Delhi, 2010.
I was assigned to design a board game for the kids living in Delhi slums. It was part of a big project - the English kit. This kit was meant for kids in Delhi slums to teach them basic English words which would help them survive in the public places like hospitals, railway stations etc. The game would teach them, those English words which are used around the medical world. I worked with a team of editors and teachers for the development of this board game.

concept one:
It’s a hospital board game, where the players will move forward with the help of dice in the hospital, and to stay there they have to do the tasks. ie. draw a doctor, draw a stethoscope, take a medicine card (where the expiry dates and other details will be written which will determine whether the player is going to stay or not).
