Fun Social Studies Lesson

Social Studies was fun today, because we were tasked to create games that extol the 6 National Education values or encompass any aspect of Singapore. We created a board game a la Game of Life, where players move along in life (every space on the board represents one year) and experience significant events like taking the 'O' Levels, buying a new house, getting retrenched and contracting cancer. The goal of the game is to reach 80 years old and claim the long-awaited CPF payouts. Of course, upon landing on a significant life event, players will have to draw cards and answer boring questions about Singapore and its policies. This game was created as a satirical mockery of Singapore's law and policies (Retrieve my CPF savings at 80 years old? By then I would have been too weak to go mountain-climbing, and I can jolly well spend those money on buying 4D, dentures and Yoko Yoko).

Our board game, with a boring title: Life in Singapore

I hope Dr Sim does not detect that subtle satire here!
