Each year at the end of the year, I assign the students a quest. They are usually apprehensive because they are unsure as to what is going to unfold, especially since I know what is about to happen: Someone is going to lose all of their gold that they have saved so carefully for a large purchase.

If you haven’t assigned your students a quest, or you are nervous about creating the narrative for your quest, let me share one of mine.

The title of the quest is Deus ex Machina. God of the Machine. I even created a video that went with it at the end. But the purpose behind all of this is to have them practice some questions that they will see on their state standardized test. It gives them the opportunity to practice what they have learned all year and at the same time, they are entering into that world of role play.

Throughout the year I will share with you some of my quests for Classcraft. These are things that you can use in any way. Please feel free to go in and change the assignments (and add your own video) to suit your subject or review or what you have on hand. If the only reason you haven’t used Classcraft is because you are unusure as to how to set these up, let this be your first one.

I assure you that the kids love it!

Here’s the link to my quest.
