'Run of the River' is an interactive board game designed for upper secondary students to help convey understandings about environmental flow issues in relation to river health.

It links to the Victorian Education Department’s curriculum requirements (Victorian Essential Learning Standards Levels 5 and 6 Science and Geography, Interpersonal Development, and Civics and Citizenship). It also presents concepts relevant to VCE Environmental Science, Biology and Geography.

Class copies of the game (four boards which will enable up to 28 students to play at once) were available free of charge to all Victorian secondary schools in 2005.

Check out a copy of the game board (low resolution jpeg, 155kb), plus the supporting teachers notes (pdf, 716 kb) to get more of a feel for what the resource can offer.

Reply paid postcards were sent out to all secondary schools in Victoria in November 2005.
