Startup Game Lesson Planner
The Startup Game Lesson Planner helps educators and facilitators turn a startup learning game idea into a usable session plan. It gives structure before the activity starts, so the game teaches a decision instead of becoming random play.
What should learners understand after the session?
What choice, limit or signal turns the lesson into a game?
What does the team do before feedback arrives?
What changed, failed or deserves a next test?
What should learners test after the activity?

Learning goal
Name the startup decision learners should understand by the end.
