My Project

Disparity Trap: The Socially Conscious Board Game provides an easy way to have the hard conversations around race & privilege in America.

This board game is like many of its kind, where your main goal is to live your life the way you choose; go to school, get a job, possibly build a family and a career, but in this game, you also step into someone else’s shoes to experience that life within an identity different from your own.

Throughout the game, the dice rolls correlate your identity in the game to real life statistics. So like life, the dice are in your hands, but the odds are not.

The 8th grade History Social Science team would like to use this game as a way of connecting the past to the present after we have taught the story of Abolition, the Civil War and Reconstruction. As there are two teachers on this team, we have request two donor bundles be funded (we would be teaching this at the same time so we would like to have our own class set). We feel this game would make students more engaged and open to having these tough conversations in a safe, inclusive environment.
