The Adventure Badges are my attempt to reimagine the #PhysEd Responsibility Badges that I share with all of you over ten years ago.

I wanted to make something more modern and that involved a whole lot less headache for all of you! https://twitter.com/phys_educator/status/1383377686601428993?s=20">https://twitter.com/phys_educ...

Each Adventure Badge is assigned to one of three categories. Each category looks at its badges through a specific lens:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz"> Emotional Badges ( #SEL)

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen"> Responsibility Badges (Personal & Social Responsibility)

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💡" title="Elektrische Glühbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische Glühbirne"> Learner Badges (Habits of Successful Learners)

Also, each badge has its own rarity rating which is indicated by the colour of its outer ring. The three rarity levels are:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥉" title="Bronzemedaille" aria-label="Emoji: Bronzemedaille"> Common (White Ring)

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥈" title="Silbermedaille" aria-label="Emoji: Silbermedaille"> Uncommon (Silver Ring)

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥇" title="Goldmedaille" aria-label="Emoji: Goldmedaille"> Rare (Gold Ring)

The badges& #39; rarity can affect how students "level up" in the game.

As students unlock new badges, these badges get added to the students& #39; Adventure Badges Profile.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💻" title="Computer" aria-label="Emoji: Computer"> The profile is a Google Slides template that can be assigned and managed via Google Classroom.

Students can personalize their profile with their:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf"> The Google Slides-based Adventure Badge Profile was built to make it SUPER simple for teachers to add badges to a student& #39;s profile. All you have to do is:

• Right-click,
• "Replace Image",
• "Upload From Computer" and
• Select the badge to be added.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen"> Done!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete"> As students unlock more badges, they get to "Level Up"! The game starts off with four levels (with each level being composed of four steps)

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💎" title="Edelstein" aria-label="Emoji: Edelstein"> Level One: Ruby

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💎" title="Edelstein" aria-label="Emoji: Edelstein"> Level Two: Sapphire

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💎" title="Edelstein" aria-label="Emoji: Edelstein"> Level Three: Emerald

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💎" title="Edelstein" aria-label="Emoji: Edelstein"> Level Four: Diamond

There are a few options as to how you can go about player levels:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="#️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Raute" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Raute"> Number of Badges (1 badge = 1 step)

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💯" title="Hundert Punkte Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Hundert Punkte Symbol"> Badge Points (Step costs 2 points, Common = 1 point, Uncommon = 2 point, Rare = 4 point)

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚫" title=""Betreten verboten!"-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: "Betreten verboten!"-Zeichen"> Or don& #39;t use the levels at all (showcase student grade-level instead)

However you choose to go about it, updating a student& #39;s Player Level is also super easy.

The graphics are all pre-made and labeled for you, all you have to do is use the same "Replace Image" trick to do the update.

I also created a Google Slides-based Social Celebration Graphic template to make it incredibly easy for anyone to create an awesome graphic that can be shared:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💻" title="Computer" aria-label="Emoji: Computer"> In your Google Classroom Stream

Here& #39;s how quick/easy it is to make this graphic using the included Google Slides template.
