This is first in a series of posts featuring my amazing, creative, smart, and fun students. They love to play. So I do I. In my Beowulf class, number of my students made Beowulf inspired games based on existing popular games.
I’ve played their versions already.
Here’s a grim game.

Beowulf Catan. James Kilfoyle as Heathobard; John Kilfoyle as Dane; me? I’m the Geat. The robber is Grendel. I used my thane card. Thank you Sarah Miller, who made it.
Then there’s Madison’s amazing rune stick!

And Drew’s incredible Beowulf Yu-gi-oh! cards. He has gone to Nationals playing Yu-gi-oh!

Maybe Beowulf and Grendel would have gotten along better if they only played these games together!
