Abstract

The workshop will explore the XXXX Game, which is an interactive teaching activity that can be used to promote the development of critical thinking and critical discussion skills in students. The Game was initially developed to be used online during the global pandemic but it transfers easily to any classroom setting. The game incorporates elements of Theatre of the Oppressed (Boal, 1993), which provides participants with the chance to examine key issues related to any topic through improvisation, as well as Ethical Dilemna Story Pedagogy (Rahmawati et al., 2021). The XXXX Game can be used to teach students about any topic, and enable them to critically engage with key concepts and explore scenarios to further deepen their understanding. For the Game, all participants are assigned with a range of characters that relate to the topic and invited to participate in character, without revealing their identity. This workshop will teach participants how to use the game and will enable them to take part in a taster activity.
