Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!*

Grab your friends and enter the game! Assume characters, work together, complete challenges, and answer questions to move across the board! This practice explores interactive games as a fun multimodal approach to exploring essentialism and the labels that dictate our society.

* ”A rumble is a discussion, conversation, or meeting defined by a commitment to lean into vulnerability, to stay curious and generous, to stick with the messy middle of problem identification and solving, to take a break and circle back when necessary, to be fearless in owning our parts…” Brené Brown
