RPGs can sharpen students’ problem-solving skills! Here’s how:
• Open-Ended Problems: Present scenarios with no “right” answer (e.g., “How do you cross the broken bridge?”).
• Encourage Debate: Let groups discuss and justify their choices before acting.
• Consequences Matter: Show how decisions impact the story (e.g., “Helping the merchant gained an ally!”).
• Add Puzzles: Include riddles or logic challenges to unlock rewards.
• Reflect on Choices: Ask students to explain why their plan worked (or didn’t).
