The Spikers Game

1.Our game Topic relates to civics by teaching about the first ten amendments. At one part of the game you see a screen where you can practice songs that are too hard, but before you can practice there's a scene you have to watch where your character gets in a fight with the police. The scene goes like this, the police are in the hotel where you are staying and the police find the guitar you stole. The police say, "We thought he stole a guitar." Then a button shows up that says "Open the Door." Click on the button and your character opens the door. Your character says, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Then the police say, "We're arresting you for stealing a guitar!"

2. They will learn more by playing because the more they play the more amendments they get, and there's a screen where they can see all the amendments they have collected.

3.Our game fits into the Ideas Framework by talking about the amendment and Rights, the game talks about citizenship by having your character get arrested by stealing a guitar which should teach kids never to steal.

About the Game

If I'm correct I'd say that The Spikers game should be really fun and challenging for all ages something like Guitar Hero, DDR and Rock Band related. There are three levels to choose from Normal, Hard and Expert. The game is about the 27 amendments. There will be Amendment Points in the game, with enough Amendment Points you can buy Point Modifyers, Outfits, Guitars, Band Members, New Characters, and Amps.
I want to try to teach kids about the amendments while playing a game. Garrett will be the researcher, action script maker and game assembler and I will be the music expert, artistian and group manager.

Why I Picked my two blogs

I picked the First Amendment Religion Clauses because it talks about the first amendment which I really want to know more about.
I pick prescriptions because it talks about all the amendments plus all the new ones coming out.
