The Leadership Game is geared toward nursing students in their final terms of nursing school and toward new nursing graduates. This game helps prepare learners for the role of charge nurses and managers, having to manage and prioritize multiple patients’ care and staff while facing different leadership challenges. Students roll dice to determine the roles of and how many staff they will be working with as well as how many patients they will have on “the floor”. Patient report cards create the diverse patient populations for the”shift”. Situation cards and a situation die provide additional leadership challenges as the game unfolds. Students must make patient assignments, prioritize care and handle different situations that arise. Students learn to solve problems as teams and have fun doing it in a non-threatening environment.
