[QUOTE="Mithras, post: 929462, member: 2453"] Has anybody had any experience, or heard of any situations in which roleplaying games of any form have been used to teach in school. I'm biting the bullet and doing research for a book on the subject. I've got a few ideas of my own, and been experimenting with RPGs at my own school, but that's a drop in the ocean ... Using an RPG with 30 school-kids? Getting kids to split into groups and GM their own games simultaneously? Get them all to create a character from a period in history (without actually using them), hot-seating, roleplaying a community, with the class becoming the members of that community .. There must be lots of other ways to get across a subject (history especially) using roleplaying techniques of one sort or another. No idea is too wacky! Please help!
