IF YOU WANT THEM TO BE SHARP…LARP

     What passes for drama in the classroom is often half-baked and mostly faked.  Without proper planning, classroom theater ends up as an exercise in giggling.  Perhaps classroom drama should look to gaming for a little help.  I think there is great potential in education for Live Action Role Play. These feelings were confirmed again today when I heard a story on NPR about a Percy Jackson camp that is helping to extend the interest in that particular book series and that is helping to increase kids’ knowledge of mythology.  I always say that GAMES MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO LEARN.  Check out the story.

Lil’ Help? Theater Larp Rules

I am looking for some really good theater larp links on the web.  I am particularly interested in finding rules, not just groups.  I am imagining a long-term classroom larp.  Fun.
