Description
This role-playing game can be used before or after teaching the Dewey Decimal System. It does not teach Dewey itself and should not be used in isolation without teaching Dewey in a recent or upcoming lesson. During the game, students will apply Dewey groupings to various survival scenarios.
The Zombie Dice Game includes:
-
33-slide PowerPoint game
-
complete directions
-
Dewey Categories sheet (needed to play game)
-
Tool Categories sheet (needed to play game)
-
list of specific Dewey numbers for items listed on the Categories sheets
About the PowerPoint Game:
-
students select from 25 scenarios in five categories
-
each scenario includes a full-color photo
-
“spacer” slide gives students an opportunity to share their solutions
About the Categories sheets:
-
Each of the “Tool” categories represents a “hundreds section” in Dewey Decimal classification. For example, “Tool Category #5” contains items that symbolize topics in the 500s section of the library. “Tool Category #11” contains symbols from the 100s section (since students cannot roll a 1 with two dice).
-
Use the Tool Categories sheet if you have not yet taught Dewey.
-
Use the Dewey Categories sheet if you recently taught Dewey.
