🎲 Eco Board Game – Saving the Planet Through Play

As part of the Eco Culture Lab Erasmus+ activities, students participated in an interactive and creative environmental board game designed and developed by the students of A2 class.

The aim of the activity was to help students understand the importance of everyday eco-friendly habits and how individual actions can affect the future of our planet.

🌍 A Map of Two Possible Futures

At the center of the game was a handmade map by students of A2 class, created by the students, which depicted two contrasting versions of the Earth:

🌱 an eco-friendly, sustainable planet
🌫 an environmentally destroyed planet

🧱 Balance of the Planet – The Jenga Element

On top of the map, students placed a Jenga tower, symbolizing the balance of the planet.

The idea behind this was simple but powerful:

👉 every human action can either support or disturb the balance of the Earth

This visual contrast helped students immediately understand the consequences of human choices on the environment.

🃏 Eco Cards with AI Support

The game also included a set of eco habit cards, which had been created using Artificial Intelligence tools.

Each card described an environmentally friendly habit, such as:

♻ recycling
🚲 using sustainable transport
💧 saving water
🌱 protecting nature

🎭 How the Game Was Played

Students worked in teams and followed these steps:

1️⃣ One member of the team chose a card
2️⃣ They used pantomime to present the eco habit
3️⃣ The rest of the team tried to guess the habit

If the team failed to identify the habit:

🧱 one Jenga block was removed

🌱 A Positive Outcome

By the end of the game: all teams managed to guess most of the habits correctly, only a few blocks were removed and the tower remained stable. This meant that the balance of the planet was not destroyed, and students were able to symbolically “save the Earth.”
