Games foster engagement, fun, mastery and play. They engage the whole brain, and allow players to fully immerse themselves in an activity. Whether it be hopscotch, hide and seek, “Simon Says”, Monopoly or “Heads up seven up”, games have always been a way for children to learn about the world. They allow humans of all ages to develop friendships and communication skills, and to pool individual talents together towards a common goal.

Hearkening back to a childhood schoolyard game, rock/paper/scissors is a reflection on the past year, the first of the Artist Teachers Group. It has been a period of risk-taking during which members have carved out time from busy schedules as educators to “play well with others”, have fun and make art.
