The '''book and game''' idea is simply to require that the player must have read a book because otherwise the related game remains unplayable. |
|||
A book could be a novel with educational content. The educational content would be equally required to play the game so the |
|||
player would be motivated to train reading skills by reading the novel and to learn the educational content. |
|||
Unlike similar educational games, such as, for instance, [http://bildung.wikia.com/wiki/Mathica Mathica], parts of a novel would be |
|||
required as a precondition to be able to play the game. |
|||
The OLPC would, of course, have the advantage of being the book |
|||
at the same time, so the player could switch conveniently from playing the game to reading the novel and the novel would then contain |
|||
educational content and riddles that required understanding for earlier information. The game could then rely on both. |
|||
One could give the novel and the |
|||
game a timeline and the player would be in the future (lacking relevant information) if he had not read the novel. |
|||
This way the motivation to want to know what is in the novel becomes the pupil's own motivation, not a homework assignment, |
|||
and the educational riddles become a part of reading the novel. |

|||
A book could also introduce its own secret language, which would become more and more intelligible throughout |
|||
the book. The game would then assume the language to be known. Secret languages can fascinate children and young teenagers and can promote involvement.{{ExtRef|http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Fasten/Pilingual_Primer|pi}} |
