Connecting with our community!
"Play" is the operative word for this program.
Designed for grades 3 and 5, The Play Real Game is activity-oriented,
experiential, exploratory, and just plain fun. To gain a realistic understanding
of adult life, education, and work, students embark on a journey into the adult
world.
In simulation, participants take on adult work roles,
earn and spend money, choose a home, and create a town-all right in the
classroom! Parents, families and communities play a central part in the
program.
