Hong Ji-yeon et al.: Unplugged play curriculum board games

What is Unplugged? It is a play-based educational approach developed by Professor Tim Bell and his colleagues in New Zealand. It allows learners to understand the principles of computers and computer science through fun games using readily available materials, without the need for a computer, while also fostering computational thinking skills to solve problems. Board games help develop the ability to analyze and judge given situations, devise winning strategies, and solve problems. Coding board games, which add coding elements to these educational board games, develop not only basic control structures such as sequence, repetition, and selection, but also algorithm design skills and computational thinking. This book is structured so that each game is easy for children to follow step-by-step through photos and illustrations. Part 1 introduces subject-specific board games, such as "Dokdo Defense Force" and "Pinocchio," which are suitable for use in conjunction with the school curriculum. Part 2 provides subject-specific boards that can be used immediately with just the book, eliminating the need to purchase board games, thereby helping to cultivate core concepts, principles, and competencies required for each subject. With the “Unplugged Play Curriculum Board Game”, you can develop the competencies required for various subjects such as Korean, Mathematics, and Social Studies, which may have previously felt difficult. Additionally, through fun games, you can cultivate procedural thinking and improve problem-solving skills and concentration.
