What is
LFG’s Learning From Games?
Learning From Games is an
educational camp provided by Looking for Group Games
where
youths learn the concepts of leadership, teamwork, defining and
achieving goals, strategy and tactics while having fun.
No parent wants their kids to
just shoot stuff in games. Too often these days, games are seen
as a negative thing, yet team sports are viewed as a positive
thing. Recognizing that PC based games offer no exercise, they
can still offer many of the team and leadership skills of team
sports and therefore be a positive influence on youths.
US Federal Court of Appeals
Judge Richard Posner noted:
“Many early games were
little more than shooting galleries where players were
encouraged to blast everything that moved. Many current
games are designed to be ethical testing grounds. They allow
players to navigate an expansive and open-ended world, make
their own choices and witness their consequences.“
By using popular PC based
games, Learning From Games
keeps the attending youth’s
attention and motivation, while LFG’s innovative approach
provides real-world education in important real-life concepts.
By the end of the camp, each
attendee will have learned:
- How to build a team and
assign roles to each team member
- How to lead a team in
defining and achieving goals and objectives
- Motivating a team
- Strategic versus tactical
thinking
- Defining a strategy and
choosing the appropriate tactics to achieve it
- Determining and assigning
rewards
