My Kindergarten Class - The Robot Game

Video of one of our «Robot Game» sessions I shot in 2008. My kids couldn't get enough of it. Me neither. I have to say it's a pretty cool game. If I had know so many people would watch the video, I would have tried to use a much better camera to record it. So, lots of you have asked me how you play the game : Begin by splitting the kids into 2 teams. Draw 3 robots on the whiteboard, each with 6 parts (head, torso, 2 arms and 2 legs). The teacher gets his/her own robot. Every time a team rolls the die, something happens that will add/remove parts to one or more robots, until only one is left. Your goal is to be the last robot standing. Here's what happens when you roll the die : 1 - Your team gets to erase 3 robot parts (from whichever robot they want). 2 - Your team gets to erase 2 robot parts. 3 - Your team gets to erase 1 robot part. Usually, I start the game with -3, -2 and -1, then I switch to -5, -3 and -1 when we're playing in "HARDCORE" mode (Hardcore mode means I want to end the game fast so we can do something else). 4 - Your team's robot steps on a bomb/mine and loses one random part. 5 - You get to draw 2 extra parts on your robot (weapons, legs, an extra head, jetpack, nuclear weapon, etc.). Of course, let the students add parts to their own robots. 6 - All robots step on bombs. They all lose a part. At first, the kids didn't dare erase my robot, so I would always win, but after a while they got the idea that it was OK to erase it. Then, they started ganging up on it, leaving me few chances to win the game. I miss those kids very much !
