Classroom lesson plan
The classroom lesson plan comprises two resources: 1) game class activities that accompany the Playground Heroes game, and 2) an anti-prejudice lesson plan. Below you can download these resources.

Game class activities

Three lesson plans will be implemented after a videogame session has been played (week 1, week 2 or week3). The videogame sessions lasts 15 minutes and each lesson plan should take around 30 minutes.

What are the lesson plans’ aims?

The lesson plans’ main aim is to reinforce and consolidate with fun activities and group discussions what the videogame sessions have tried to build up in children:

  • Decrease of moral disengagement and increase of empathy and sense of responsibility towards children who are bullied because of prejudice (week 1);
  • Enhancement of critical skills for evaluating peer norms and peer pressure (week 2);
  • Improvement of self- efficacy regarding strategies for effectively stopping and discouraging prejudice- based bullying (week 3).

The following lesson plans will accompany sessions of the videogame over three weeks:

  • Week 1: Putting yourself in Andy’s shoes
  • Week 2: Stick with or Say No!
  • Week 3: Drama Time!

Anti-prejudice lesson

The 'How many Steps forward are you?' is an activity focusing on diversity and equality that will lead to class reflection and discussion about discrimination, its unfairness and negative consequences. It will also help children to empathise with a person from a different social, cultural or religious background. This activity should take place in Week 4 and it will take 30-45 minutes to be implemented in the class.
