INTRODUCTION

In these five weeks I am going to create a game for Lower school students which should be interesting for them and educational. To be more easy to make this game I have to

go trough some steps which are: investigation, design, plan, create and evaluate. My clients are all lower school

students. So I think my game should be easy understanding. Which have to be many pictures and less words. To satisfy my client I should also make my game funny, it’s kind of hard to make a game that include so many of things. So I’ll do carefully on my planning and

creating steps.

SUMMARY OF DESIGNSDesign I: this design might be too hard for them and too

hard to make. But the kids might be a little interesting in this game. I like this design and it can train their memory but still

it’s too hard to make.

Design II: the game will be very interesting if the map is big and challenge. This game is for all kids, and it’s easy for me to

make. It is educational. Kids might like this one cause the pacman might be interesting for them.

Design III: this design is very educational but not interesting for kids. All kids could play and it’s the easiest one

to make.


FIND DESIGNThis unit we have to make a game which educational

and fun for lower school kids. I think design 2 include

all of them. Design II can make them interesting in

and also can make them understand many things. I

also can trough some math questions, life questions

or things they would learn about SWA. And pacman

is also a famous game, so I’ll be more easy making it
