THE THE PROBLEM
Whole-class strategy games often turn into one student controlling the mouse while everyone else watches.
Teacher time disappears when the same moment has to be re-explained in real time.
ONE SCREEN · THE WHOLE CLASS PLAYS
SCHOOLYARD STRATEGY.
FIVE-SECOND DECISIONS.
A schoolyard capture-the-flag strategy game for ages 7–12. The screen runs the random wheel, five-second decisions, movement, prison, rescues, flags and scoring while classroom corners make the choices.

WHY THIS EXISTS
PRACTISE THE
HARD MOMENT.
Whole-class strategy games often turn into one student controlling the mouse while everyone else watches.
THE FIX
Physical classroom corners make the decision together; the screen handles the shared board, turn selection and consequences.
The classroom version handles the structure so the teacher can supervise the room instead of operating another complicated system.
HOW IT RUNS
SAY LESS.
LET THE SYSTEM HELP.
The classroom round isolates the decisions that usually create arguments outside: where to move, when to stop and how to restart after a close call.
01 · SPIN
SPIN
A true random wheel selects the next free corner.
02 · HUDDLE
HUDDLE
That corner gets five seconds to point to one legal move or choose Block.
03 · MOVE + WATCH
MOVE + WATCH
One action moves the runner and the playground announces tags, rescues, steals, prison or scoring.

Strategy before movement
FLAGSHIFT is a shared decision game: the class should be thinking faster than the teacher is explaining.
The projected board compresses a capture-the-flag style problem into short choices. Teams get only a few seconds to decide, which makes communication and trade-offs more important than a long perfect plan. The screen carries the turn order and state so the teacher can watch whether teams are actually making decisions together.
Students need to know what counts as progress, capture, prison and rescue before the first serious choice. After that, let the repeated turns teach the structure.
A short window prevents one student from running every discussion and keeps the game moving. If a team needs longer every turn, simplify the language or roles rather than extending the whole game.
If teams are already struggling with conflict, choose a more cooperative format first. Strategy is useful only when students can accept a shared decision and move on.
