Good School Simulation Game

Much more than a game - impulses for school development

Developing your own school together and having a good time at the same time - that's what the simulation game Gute Schule is all about. Here, people argue and discuss, laugh and fight for the best strategy. Compromises have to be negotiated, pleas made and goals achieved together. The teams design a strategy for their own good school in a playful way that is very close to reality.
The game is based on the comprehensive understanding of education as expressed in the six quality areas of the "German School Award". The quality areas are recognised in science and practice as characteristics of good schools. On this basis, Germany's best schools are honoured each year with the "German School Award" from the Robert Bosch Foundation and the Heidehof Foundation.
The Good School simulation game inspires anyone who wants to literally "play through" their vision of a good school. The game includes
