We developed the board game "Lesson Study — The Game" in order to provide a fun, interactive, and motivating opportunity for educators to get to know Lesson Study. The game can serve both as a first introduction to the Lesson Study process and as a further training for Lesson Study teams. It is based on a real Lesson Study process that took place at a primary school in Germany. Since the game's main focus is Lesson Study, it can be played by educators of all subject areas and school levels, by pre-service teachers, and by anyone else who is interested in teaching and curious about Lesson Study.

The game takes around two hours and can be played by a team of three to six players, with or without the assistance of an external facilitator. No prior knowledge of Lesson Study is needed. Feel free to contact us in case you have any questions about the game: lemas@uni-potsdam.de
