How will climate
change affect us?
Learning objectives
• All of you will learn how to
identify climate change
impacts
• Most of you will learn how
to explain the solutions to
climate change.
• Some of you will learn how
to make links between
geographical location and
climate change.
Climate change the game.
Can you survive climate change when a rip in the space
time continuum means every roll of the dice is a decade
in time so expect fast changes in climate and possible
solutions!
1. Cut the scenario cards out
and make a pile of them face
down.
2. Read out the game
guidance.
3. Each select a character to
be.
4.Create your game’s
random card.
5.Create a totem to
represent you on the board.
6.Play the game.
Jake
London, UK
Synoptic chart and
weather specialist
Worst possible outcome
would be the flooding
of the UK. If this
happens, he moves
back 3 spaces.
Ore
Lesotho, Southern
Africa
Survival skills and
bushcraft specialist.
Worst possible outcome
would be the loss of
habitat for animals- if
this happens, move
back three spaces.
Ana
New Orleans, USA
Cooperation specialist,
works well with others.
Worst possible
outcome- ice age, as
she is a climate change
sceptic. If it happens,
add 3 spaces back onto
whatever the card says.
Siobhan
Sydney, Australia
Excellent with numbers
and patterns. A
mathematical specialist.
Worst possible
outcome- flooding of
coastal cities, move
back three spaces if this
happens.
Game rules
1.Select a character card from the pile and
read it carefully.
2.On the spare card you have, suggest one
way that climate change could be limited. This
should then be put into the pile of scenario
cards.
Anyone who picks up one of the climate
change solution cards written by you moves
directly to the next multiple of three.
3.Put the scenario cards to the side of the
board and then roll to see who will go first.
Each time someone lands on a climate change
scenario, they need to pick up a card, read it
to the group and then replace it at the bottom
of the pile.
4.The first person to ‘survive’ until the nice ice
age wins the game and the prizes!
There is more carbon
dioxide in the
atmosphere today than
at any point in the last
800,000 years. All
players move back 2
spaces.
There are natural
patterns hidden in the
patterns of climate
change, the
mathematicians can
predict them to a
degree, they move
forward 1 space.
Rainforest habitats are
destroyed by unreliable
rainfall and many
foodstuffs are
unavailable. Survival
experts are fine, but
everyone else moves
back 1 space.
London is attempting
to adopt the green roof
strategy of
Copenhagen. Brits
move forward a space.
Oh no, an Ice Age, any
character who is a
climate change sceptic
moves back 10 spaces.
Australian coral reefs
are being destroyed by
freshwater and
bleaching through
inadequate sunlight.
Aussies move back 2
spaces.
How about vertical
farming, saving land
and still producing
enough food.
Australians are at the
forefront of this, so
they move forward 2
spaces.
Since 1870, global sea
levels have risen by
about 8 inches. All
players living in a
country with a coast
move back 1 space.
American scientists are
suggesting putting a
blanket over Greenland
to limit melting!
Americans move for
ward two spaces,
everyone else forward
one.
In total, the U.S. emits
approximately 6 billion
tons of carbon dioxide
every year. 40% of that
comes from power
plant emissions alone.
Characters in North
America move back 2
spaces.
The extremes of
weather affect
everyone but weather
specialists can read an
forecast so they know
what to expect. They
move forward 2,
everyone else moves
back 1.
Climate change has
been linked to more
extreme weather,
therefore more
hurricanes and
cyclones. Americans
and Aussies are
affected, move back 3
spaces.
Everyone has started
to recycle in North
America, Europe, Asia
and Oceania. These
people can move
forward 2 spaces.
The Uk has spent lots
of money on flood
defences but the
amount of extreme
weather still increase,
Uk residents move
back a space.
The lack of rainfall in
Lesotho means that
they cannot keep up
their deal with South
Africa so are running
out of money to look
after the population.
Residents move back
three spaces.
Widespread ocean
pollution due to
freshwater affects all
corners of the globe.
All characters move
two back.
With it’s power, the US
government has
encouraged all nations
to think about climate
change and take
action, even if it is not
following the Kyoto
protocol. Cooperative
specialists move
forward 2, all others
move 1 forward.
People are having to be
made climate change
refugees, so survival
skills are key.
Survivalists move
forward 3 spaces.
Renewable energies
adopted by all countrie
agreeing to the Kyoto
protocol- all characters
move 2 spaces forward
except US residents as
they are not Kyoto
members.
The earth’s avergae
temperature is rising,
so more places are
seen as holiday
destinations, all
characters move 1
space forward.

3. Which solutions do you think
were the best? Why?Pick
three!
4. Which was the best character
to be, why?
5. How would you improve the
game if you were to play it
