EET: _Lord of the Flies_ Interactive Survival Game


Description
Get your students into survival mode by running this survival game in class before reading The Lord of the Flies. Students break into small groups and control 20 kids stuck on an island. One student will be the team leader. Students will then place their pieces and mark up their map to show where their shelters are and rescue fires are. each week (a round in the game), students will go hunting, food gathering, exploring, and face acts of God and will try to survive with as many students as possible long enough to get rescued. It is a fun introduction and allows for students to make connections to what happens later in the book. There are revolts and opportunity for mutinies to further derail the groups and lots and lots of violence! If you want to see a quick run through, here are two videos showing the game set-up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr1RDOAzytY) and game play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w_CO6Vt8Ck). The game can be played all in one setting or spread out over a few days. You can have as many groups as you need and each group will have a completely different experience.
