A Library Live Action Role Playing (LARP) Game for one player (the Librarian) and a class of students
Stories are magic, and as all readers of magic and fantasy know that magic is capricious and that not all spells will work on all people.
In this game the Librarian plays a magic user (wizard/witch/warlock/mage/other magic user) that must get all the children in the library under his or her power. This is accomplished by getting all students reading quietly.
AIM:
The aim of the game is to get all students to be entranced by what they are reading.
The books or magazines do not need to be fantasy or magic-based, any genre will do.
The goal of every student reading does not to be accomplished in one lesson (if you can though that is great).
Over the weeks get to know the students in the Library lesson, their likes and dislikes and using this information get them reading.
Once all the students are reading you must keep them engaged with what they are reading form week to week.
The end goal is to imbue all students with a love of reading.
SCORING
One point per student that enjoys reading.
Five points per student that struggles to focus on their reading material once they are reading.
One point per every minute all students are focusing on what they are reading.
The game can be played alone or against librarians in other libraries, each player is expected to tally their points honestly.
