EU Power Tower game: German set of cards published
For the "EU Power Tower" game, which is played with wooden bricks and a set of quiz cards…
Build a wood tower and learn about the structure, functioning and values of the EU.
Young people and adults alike are often embarrassed when asked about the EU. But a large game of Jenga – a tower of wood blocks to be built and re-arranged – is a game that everyone loves to play. The game we have developed is a combination of a wood block tower and a card-based quiz, where the EU is at the heart of the issues. We tested this game as a fun way of learning with young adults and seniors as well.
