Assist Session 3: Communicating Game Rules

Fundamentals Coaching · Lesson 12 of 28All lessons

4 min read

Session 3 of 6 in the Assist Protocol (Fundamentals). Read this before the class, then do the quiz and reflection after it.

Start running game segments when the lead coach hands them to you. Practice communicating the six elements clearly: mode, starting position, objectives, constraints, win conditions, switching. Give at least one group teaching point between rounds.

For the Lead Coach

The trainee starts running game segments you hand them. This is where they practice communicating rules and coaching a group.

  • Set them up clearly. Tell them the game, the win conditions, and one concept to focus on. Don't dump five things on them (focused feedback applies to coaching the coach too).
  • Let them struggle. If their rules explanation is clumsy or they forget a win condition, resist the urge to jump in and fix it. Let them feel the confusion from students, then talk about it after. They'll remember that more than any correction you could give in the moment.
  • Give them feedback on one thing per session. Maybe it's their rules communication. Maybe it's their voice projection. Maybe it's how long they talked between rounds. Pick the most important one and let the rest go.

After the Session: Quiz and Reflection

Do this after you've assisted the class, not before.

Focus area: communicating game rules.
