Game Objective

The Make it Real Game program enables students to:

• discover unique personal skills and talents with respect to life/work roles and relationships;
• build and reinforce a positive self-concept; 
• see how schooling (all subjects) and extracurricular interests are directly related to future life and work roles, and how furthering knowledge and skills in a planned way opens doors to many opportunities; 
• realize there is a link between education and training, income and such lifestyle aspects as time available for family, community and leisure;
• explore a range of teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills and develop effective work habits in the context of working in a small business; 
• explore diverse work and community roles and discover what aspects of these roles bring most satisfaction; 
• explore links between work and broader life roles, including the dynamics of building, living in and contributing to a community; 
• understand that a local community is part of a world economy; 
• explore other ethnic and cultural realities in the context of adapting a product (a folk tale) for people of another language and culture, in another country; 
• be better prepared to make judicious choices regarding school and all aspects of their lives, to feel more in control of their destinies, and to move forward toward the future about which they remain uncertain, yet positive and enthusiastic.
