Chao Kuang Piu College Promotes Board Games

曹光彪書院推動桌遊活動

為了增進人與人之間的溝通,緩解因疫情帶來的社交恐懼,曹光彪書院自2021年起舉辦”桌遊速遞”系列活動。活動每週或每兩週舉辦一次,貫穿整個學年。

每次桌遊活動會向同學介紹不同類型的桌遊,包括策略類、解難類、記憶類、手牌管理類和派對類等遊戲。同學在玩的過程中不單學習到不同的策略和方法,同時與其他人交談和連結。這在很大程度上增進了同學相互之間的認識,也讓大家暫時放下手機和其他電子媒介,享受與人交流的過程。活動舉辦至今深受同學歡迎,特別是本學期其中數場活動,書院邀請了來自澳門國際桌上遊戲文化交流協會的專業桌遊導師帶領活動,讓同學有機會一睹專業導師的風範。每個遊戲結束後,帶領員也會引導參與學生進行分享,在與其他參與者的對話和交流過程中獲得成長。

此外,協會導師同時受邀為書院學生開辦「初階桌遊帶領員課程」,目的是培養日後帶領桌遊、連結院生的新力軍。此課程除了包含理論部份,還有實踐環節,讓學生有機會應用所學,並在實踐中反思和改進帶領技巧。有課程學員表示,喜歡透過課程可以接觸和了解到國際上不同類型的桌遊,也享受和其他人一起學習,一起玩的過程。

In order to improve communication between people and alleviate the social fears brought about by the epidemic, Chao Kuang Piu College has organized Board Game Express since 2021. These activities are held weekly or bi-weekly throughout the school year.

During the game sessions, students are exposed to different types of board games, including strategy, problem-solving, memory, card management, and party games. Students not only learn different strategies while playing, but also talk and connect with others. This has greatly enhanced the understanding of each other and encourages students to put down their cell phones and other electronic media for a while and enjoy the process of communication with others. The activities have been well received by the students. In this semester, the College invited professional board game facilitators from the Macau International Association of Board Game Cultural Exchange to lead several activity sessions. After each game, the instructors will guide the participating students to share their experience through dialogues and communication with other participants.

In addition, the instructors of the Association were invited to conduct a training for elementary board game facilitators for the students of the College, with the aim of cultivating a new force to lead board games and connect with students in the future. The course included both theory and practice, which gave students the opportunity to apply what they had learned and reflect on and improve their leading skills. Some participants said they enjoyed the exposure to different types of international board games and enjoyed the process of learning and playing together with others.
