At our school, we dedicate 120 minutes of every school day to enrichment blocks where students engage in teacher-led student-selected activities. My enrichment block will teach creativity, literacy, critical thinking, communication and improvisation skills through Dungeons and Dragons. Fantasy roleplaying provides off-screen opportunities for fun while tricking the students into building academic and social skills. To play the game players must talk with each other to find the best solution to the problem at hand, read through multiple books to select skills for their character, creatively describe their character's attributes and actions, draw their character, and roleplay their character's conversation. This order includes everything needed to start our enrichment block of 20 students. The supplies ordered will provide enough for two dungeon masters and 18 players split into two groups. Each dungeon master (DM) will have a Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual, adventure module, DM Screen and set of dice at their disposal. The DM crafts their own scenario and guides other students through their epic journey. They build their creative improvisation skills as the players engage in solutions they did not expect. Each player will have their own set of dice and will share their Player's Handbook with one other student. This is the most expensive portion of the order because each student needs as much access as possible to the Player's Handbook. They will use this to both read about the world of Dungeons and Dragons and look up information about their character's powers. The skills learned through building a mental index of the Player's Handbook transition to academic skills. The Fudge Dice will be used for both Homebrew rules and as a soft start to roleplaying through teacher-created scenarios to accustom the students to roleplaying. Please help me start this exciting learning opportunity for our students.
