Unexpected arguments in your classroom RPG? Turn them into teachable moments!
• Set Ground Rules: Start with agreements like “Respect all choices” and “No real-life grudges.”
• Pause for Check-Ins: If tension rises, hit pause and discuss feelings (e.g., “How did that choice make your character feel?”).
• In-Game Mediation: Introduce an NPC mediator to guide group decisions fairly.
• Encourage Empathy: Have players explain their character’s perspective before voting.
• Debrief Positively: End by highlighting what everyone learned about communication.
