When you are entrenched in the creation of the game it is hard to pick out what parts might be flawed. Therefore, you want to have a forgiving first audience that is willing to talk through the activity afterwards and does not get frustrated while you work out the kinks.

Who should I ask?

  • Co-workers
  • Other departments
  • Student workers
  • Faculty members
  • Family/friends
  • Community members

Keep an eye out for...

  • Confusion
  • Timing
  • Enjoyment
  • Learning goals met
  • Unexpected issues
