Game Design Group Project

Inspire creativity with the Game Design Group Project

Transform computing lessons with this unique 11 lesson unit for Key Stage 3 and GCSE. The game design group project is designed for every learner, especially those who think computing is not for them. There’s no programming – just pure creativity, teamwork and critical thinking.

Every lesson is fully planned and ready to teach, so non-specialists and busy teachers can deliver with confidence. Experienced teachers will appreciate the fresh approach and time saved.

Show your pupils that computing is about more than code. Backed by research, this project turns students into designers, storytellers and problem solvers. They’ll explore what makes games compelling, work as a team to design and present their own game concept, and debate real ethical issues in gaming.

Pupils do not create a working game or write code. Instead, they get a behind the scenes look at professional techniques used in today’s game development.

Build digital literacy and teamwork skills for life. Pupils explore industry roles, create a team charter and use professional playtesting methods – all without tech anxiety or expensive software. There’s an optional lesson on using AI tools for visual design, with guidance on copyright and accessibility.
