ABSTRACT
The universal acceptance of the importance of play in early childhood development is demonstrated by its enshrinement as the right in Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (United Nations, 1989). However, the role of play in the lives of adults and the place of play in an otherwise formal teaching environment are less widely understood. This chapter describes the use of a board game to teach corporate social responsibility (CSR) in a university setting. The literature on play and the value of experiential learning for effective learning outcomes are discussed, and the game itself, how it is played and its impact on the class are described. Student feedback is summarized, and the chapter concludes with some suggested refinements and tips for incorporating similar activities into classes.
