Submitted by Chris on Wed, 13/03/2019 - 12:48

So, we have just spent a weekend away in Harrogate as part of the terrific Airecon Games Convention, a friendly open gaming event that's rapidly growing in popularity.

Accompanying us on our first day were 47 local school children, who along with their teachers, came to compete in our Inter-School Games Tournament.

A competition with something for everyone! We ensured we had a range of games that would appeal, irrespective of the sort of games you enjoy.

So, one week on from our event at Rawthorpe Library, it was Dewsbury Library's turn to play host, in the latest of our Inter-School Tournaments in Kirklees Libraries. This time we had a whopping 7 new schools come to try their hand at Imagination Gaming!

An open plan library, we set up in the children's area for the day, and rather than interrupt regular proceedings, library visitors and staff remarked on what a wonderful atmosphere it created, plenty of energy, laughter and plain old good fun!

Yep, 2019 has only just begun and its time for more Inter-School Tournaments, with today's being the first of 3 in 10 days!!!

Today's games marathon wasn't held in a school, but at Rawthorpe Library in Kirklees. All part of our efforts not only to bring games to more communities and schools, but also to promote the libraries to schools, and demonstrate another good use for these centres of the community.

Games are versatile. They’re not only great for developing those critical thinking and problem solving skills and traits that can be critical factors in making oneself a success but they are ideal in nurturing the more social and emotional areas of learning, such as confidence and the ability to express yourself.

From National Event to School: A winners Journey…

Whilst running the Family Zone at the UK Games Expo, NEC Birmingham, we decided to include a competition for children attending the zone to represent their school. The prize was to win an Imagination Gaming “Games Day” for their School.
