Ideas

Human Monopoly Board

Our idea for this is to have a giant monopoly board drawn somehow on the street with various gold-painted people (like the little characters in the game) and a giant dice on the side. We would get members of the public to roll the dice maybe and get the characters to move around the board.

The main components needed for this are:

-Giant monopoly board (chalked, pasted, drawn somehow)

-A variation of different characters/people dressed in gold (therefore standing out from everyone and looking like they belong in the game)

-A giant dice that's made of light material so people can roll it but not too light so the wind cannot blow it away.

Edit|| Through some more lateral thinking we came up with a more complicated design for this idea. We would have mapped out, the shops in Plymouth (basically a particular area), people dressed as the characters to stand in particular locations and have the whole thing recorded onto the big Plymouth TV. In the classroom we shall play the board game and have the people move around the town by our instructions via walky-talky.

We would also have this showing on the TV and have a row of seats so people can watch. Obviously people who just see the characters wouldn't know what was going on which would make it funny :P

Giant Scrabble

This idea is a take from the monopoly - taking another giant board to put on the street and having people 'play ' it; using scrabble as the new variable. I was thinking about the design for giant scrabble pieces (the letters) and having two or three people actually play the game whilst the public are walking by. The whole idea is to make it seem normal and simple as if it were the original, except it's on a bigger sized scale which would make it funny to watch :D

Ludo

The game ludo is not so popular but is still a good game. I think this one would be great expanded. A drawn out ludo board on the street whilst 4 people dressed in the corresponding colours would make it interesting and silly.

And instead of a dice, the colours can move 1 space when they see someone wearing a corresponding colour :)

As for something interactive, maybe on screen you press a button that generates a random colour (of the four selected of course) and then the counters can move whenever their colour appears.

Chess

Another idea I had was to have a human sized version of chess except instead of someone actually playing the game, it's 2 groups of the chess pieces dressed as the corresponding pieces and standing in the correct places on the board and actually looking like they're in some kind of battle.

However I also thought if it was going more along the lines of the actual game, there could be someone sat in a room with a microphone and have speakers set up so the people can give the pieces instructions like "bishop move to b4" or whatever.
