More about Game Explorers:
Game Explorers is all about showcasing how video games can provide value to a child’s life by using them as tools to explore storytelling techniques and in turn bolstering their reading, writing, and listening skills.
Rather than have children staring blankly at a screen, Game Explorers has them engaging with the text, making decisive decisions as a team, answering questions, and following instructions. Children do not have direct control of the game, instead they work together as a team to help navigate the instructor. The gameplay is interrupted by discussion of the characters, setting, and themes of the story. This program is best for Children who can MOSTLY read independently. The group will work together to help sound out long or difficult words. Children should be made aware that they will NOT be actively holding the controller at all times.
