The Lifeboat Game - In Outer Space!

(6)
This is an adaptation of the tried and tested ‘lifeboat game’. It can be used for Functional Skills English or most other English qualification. We can’t put URLs in descriptions anymore but do a search for “lifeboat game set in space” on YouTube and you will find it! “Starcorp is in trouble. Their Spaceship the SS Hartnell left Earth two weeks ago. It has been hit by a meteor and only ten people have made it in to the life-vessel. However, it will take a week for the rescue ship to arrive and there is only enough oxygen and food for five people to survive that length of time. Five people must be sacrificed so that the others can live. Which five will you choose?” The survivors featured are a diverse group of people and this lesson asks learners to consider questions around prejudice, tolerance, bias (conscious or otherwise) and diversity. Does their choice of who will survive depend on unconscious bias? Does age, gender, ethnicity, religion or sexuality play a part in their choice and if so, why?
