1.3 Gaming Impact

A. Body, Brain, Feeling

Many people enjoy playing video games because they are fun or make them feel good. Video games have the potential to impact: 

  1. Body- Our physical bodies and health. 
  2. Brains- Our brains and how they work. 
  3. Feelings- Our emotions and how we feel. 

 

Directions: To get your brains thinking, look at the list below. Sort the actions into three groups. Does the action mostly impact your body, brain, or feelings? Some might fit in more than one category. Decide which category you think is best and why. 

B. Make A Prediction

In your Mission Log: 

  • Make a list of all the ways you think video games might impact our brains, bodies, and feelings. 
  • Write down three things you want to learn more about to help you decide if video games are mostly good, mostly bad, or in the middle.
