Eco Doodle Patterns

Eco Doodle Patterns is one of the fun board games that I had the pleasure of illustrating and designing for Going to School as part of the Outdoor School for Girls program.

Objective

How do you and your day flow with the world around you? Uncover, Decode, and Reimagine the Patterns in Your Day.

Teams journey from Morning to Night, Sunrise to Sunset and Sleep, spotting everyday patterns that reveal hidden lives that are living alongside of us all - dogs, cats, birds, flies, lizards, rabbits, mice, the wind, rain, heat - and in the middle all around us - and up above in cobwebs above our heads and in the changing seasons.

Challenge 1. be on time for sleep, achieve all you do in a day, on time, make a pattern. Use your pattern recognition skills, being on time, planning.

Challenge 2. Now with your daily flow, be open to ambiguity, re-design, move sideways, forward, change direction, to enable you to take on the challenge (floods, rain, garbage, traffic) and move yourself and the animals around you, forward. Take note of whose in the same boat. Make a new pattern to still reach on time.
