Peace Builders Game
Developed by the Nobel Peace Centre, the Minecraft Peace Builders Game is inspired by the Nobel Peace Prize and the lives of four Nobel Laureates. Each of them has taken a different path to work for a more peaceful world, and in this game, students will learn about how they can work towards a better world.
Also included are classroom lessons to accompany gameplay and enhance the learning experience. For each laureate profiled in the game, you will find a PowerPoint, a lesson plan, and student worksheets. The PowerPoint and the lessons provide students with the opportunity to learn more deeply about the work each laureate has done and have been designed to offer maximum flexibility. You may choose to place the lesson before gameplay to introduce the concepts and topics or after gameplay to reinforce the learning.
The centre encourages you to use the lessons in the way that best fits your needs. Use part of them or all of them, use them in class, or have students use them independently.
