We had a wild week of games since our last episode. In my AP Comparative Government we played both Secret Hitler and We're Doomed. Some groups which have both some cooperative and competitive elements which include a lot of role playing and table talk, and also allows for some discussions of a variety of different political ideologies and tactics. I think you could construct a variety of academic applications for We're Doomed, although some of the event cards may need to be vetted for appropriateness.Here are all of the resources discussed in this week's episode:Secret HitlerWe're Doomed!Katie's WebsiteKatie's TwitterBuy Boredom Busters!Find Me All Over The Internet!www.teachersplaiground.comTwitterInstagramTikTok Hosted on Acast.
