To prepare high school students for their Government Day field trip, Diana, with help from Emily, Kirtis, and Google Gemini, designed this game focused on Sheboygan County Government.
In this version, players are like County Department Heads, managing a budget. Sometimes they adjust for unexpected County Board decisions or pay in when state revenue is lower than expected. The Free Park Pass spot gives players a rest at Sheboygan County Marsh. Others may have to go to Jury Duty. You never know how election day will turn out or what can be overcome through solid communication with the public.
If your group or class would like to learn about county government and civic participation through a game of Shebopoly, contact Diana at Diana.Hammer@wisc.edu or 920/459-5916.
