The Reconciliation Game

Angol leírás

An educational game in religion for school or home, The Reconciliation Game is a game with a subtitle: The Sacraments Are For Us.

I this way, the purpose of the game is to help children express their ideas on how the sacraments reconcile christians to God and to one another.

Play involves spinning two wheels entitled, "Spin Me First" and "Spin Me Next". The former identifies which particular sacrament a player or team will comment, and one particular aspect therein. The latter indicates a particular person or group which this sacrament affects directly or indirectly.

Players or teams have three types of input to utilize in synthesizing a brief commentary: the name of the sacrament; a statement about it; and a person or group which is related to it.

Next, a resource person (an adult or peer) evaluates the player's answer, discusses it, and/or amplifies it, after which they give a score of one to five points to the person or team.

The game can be played to a particular point total, or with a time limit.
