Play the Game

A secondary social studies activity to develop insights into how to identify problems and their roots, develop conflict resolution skills, promote participation, co-operation and respect for others and to become familiar with government mechanisms for resolving conflict. Curriculum values of 'excellence – hiranga' and 'participating and contributing - porihanga' are encouraged through teaching students how to persevere in the face of difficulties and resolve conflict through co-operation. The key competency 'relating to others' is also addressed as pupils interact effectively with a diverse range of people by negotiating.
