Morning LARP Session GM Team Add On!

May 25, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

$20

This event is being added to our usual Wednesday morning sessions now that they have shifted to the evenings with the spring.  Christopher can only run two sessions (the two afternoon sessions) and so he has asked the GM Team to run the morning session for those kids who cannot make other times or for whom the morning is more convenient.

Live Action Role Playing is a tremendous teaching tool and capable of dynamic, physically driven learning that transcends the usual boundaries of standard education. Due to the interactive, dramatic, hands on methods used in LARP, teaching is often effortless and fun. Players explore concepts from history, linguistics, political studies, geography, psychology, literature, mythology, engineering, science, mathematics, fine arts, team building, and much, much more in a single session and often don’t even realize they are learning due to the fact that they are the active participant in the process, not the passive receiver.
This event is being added to continue to winter schedule of morning larp for home schoolers.  There will still be two sessions run by Christopher in the afternoon, but in order to meet the needs of those who cannot stay late, or can only do the morning, this event has been added to the front of the day.  In this session players make and role play as characters in a shared imaginary world that spans the Bay Area and has hundreds of players continuously involved in collaborating on the process of storytelling and adventure. These events also tie into the weekend events and other leagues which have been a tradition in the area for the past ten years. Players must learn to battle with safe larp weaponry, solve intricate story elements, role play as a wide variety of monsters and creatures of the world, and manage their resources carefully. LARP is helping transform the lives of children all across the Bay Area and beyond.
