What are the tips for designing that make painting it easier at the end of the process?
Keep the design relatively simple! Be aware of the intended location for the markings before you start, as well as any effects this design based element will have on the use and management of the site. Keep the effect on playground supervision in mind (see below!). Lines are simplest to paint. Big blocks of colour are fine, but once the paint starts to wear and fade in time, look messier. How do I know how big to make the final thing. (Chalk it out?? YES!!) The most effective way would be to measure out the space you’d like to put the design, (or get the class to do it) then work out a scale that would enable the class to build a model inside or a chalk mock up outside. (see below) How do I know the game will work? (try it out!? Yes again!!) Good question. It’s a good idea to build a smaller version of the game and to teach the pupils how to play it. Also it can really help if there is a simple book of instructions (see above) available for the lunch time supervisors and relevant teach
