The Cloud Institute uses The Fish Game to start the conversation about education for sustainability w/ students and stakeholders. The simulation invites us to 'go fishing' and the object of each game is to “have as many fish as possible by the end of 10 rounds”. The game teaches system dynamics, ecological principles, responsible citizenship and more!
The Fish Game is often facilitated by Jaimie Cloud in boardrooms, classrooms and auditoriums around the country, and has been played internationally in places like Germany and Kenya.
Thanks to all of you who supported the upgrade of The Fish Game Online AND to Mat Nicholas and the team at Funatomic, educational game developers extraordinaire.
There are many new features to play with, including the ability to choose the number of fisher folk with whom you are fishing in each game; the ability to announce your intentions or not, and the ability to do or not do what you promised – You’ll see that everything you do and don’t do makes a difference. Let us know what you think!!!
The Fish Game Online has now been accessible online for free for more than 20 years!
We did it!
We reached our goal of raising $5,000 to upgrade The Fish Game Online!
Thank you for your support and your commitment to helping us educate for a sustainable future. We are grateful.
