Solar System - Educational Game
Fun facts about the solar system introduced to elementary school students in the form of a matching card game. The planets and our solar system have a vast array of facts for an elementary school student to learn. To help spur on this process we will take a common memorization technique of using flash cards. Instead of flash cards it will be matching facts with the planets they are associated with.
The purpose is to make the classroom knowledge more concrete for the kids through play. It will be a mechanics-based game, with cards that flip. The facts will be focused around the planets and solar system. It will not venture past this subject matter. The game will have a scoreboard for matches. The game will have different difficulties with the questions becoming more advanced as well as the number of cards increasing in the next levels. I plan to create 3 levels of difficulty. Because this is a matching game, there will not be a losing selection. Clearing the matches off the board will be timed. The time it takes for a player to match all the cards on each level will be tallied in the score. Players will be motivated to get a higher score with faster times and matches.
The game will be similar to the board game “Memory”. It will be different in that the player will not be matching similar looking objects but objects with facts about that object. The other card will be a question. The card, which is mostly graphic based, will also have the written answer to what the player is seeing. An example would be if the card has the sun on it as an image, it would also say sun under it, to insure the player knows that the image is the sun.
