Watergame [003]

Save your community’s water from the water monster!  Navigate the river while you try to save as much water as possible and help out your thirsty neighbours.  Get help from Ted the frog to learn the correct behaviours that allow you to save water.  Be careful though, as the water monster will play lots of tricks, giving you bad advice to make you lose your carefully saved water!

Watergame is an educational board game where kids learn to change their daily habits to save water.  The game is intended to make them aware of good water-saving habits and put them on guard against bad water-wasting habits.

​

The game includes a difficult challenge — will they learn how to work together to finish the game without leaving one of their thirsty neighbours behind?  This lesson in teamwork goes well beyond the immediate value taught — that water is not just a scarce economic good but access to it is a civil right.
