17-02-2012: Who Can Play?
This lesson plan, with its teaching resources, has been
written by Islington Healthy Schools Team for schools wanting to teach children
about the safer use of computer games.
This lesson plan aims to support pupils to take more care with
independent gaming habits:
- Giving
pupils a basic understanding of why some games are not appropriate for younger
children
- Developing
pupils' skills to evaluate whether a game is important for them to play
- Allows
pupils to question why there are age restrictions for games and films and why
some children and adults might not pay attention to these.
It can be taught as it is written, although teachers will
need to adapt it to address the specific needs and requirements of pupils in
individual classes.
