Game Ideas to Wonder: Create Your Own Board Games at the Art School

This summer holiday program in Gelsenkirchen combines creativity, teamwork, and clever thinking into a lively family experience for children aged 8 and above. On July 29, 2026, participants will spend two hours designing their own board and rule games – from the initial idea to the finished game.

Imagination Becomes Tangible

Here, dice are rolled, ideas are tested, and new perspectives are developed. Children design playfields, invent rules, and create figures or cards based on their own ideas. This generates learning fun with a true aha-moment: creativity takes shape, and from imagination comes a game that can be taken home immediately.

Child-Friendly, Age-Appropriate, and Full of Discovery

This course is designed for children aged 8 and above, fitting well into the phase where many children love to tinker, organize, compare, and find their own solutions. The Art School Gelsenkirchen has been working as an accredited youth art school for years and supports children with a professional team of artists, art students, and educational staff. This creates a reliable framework for creative learning.

Safe Creative Environment with Educational Insight

The Art School relies on a protection concept and prevention training for instructors. This means for families: a conscious approach to closeness, distance, and safety. Additionally, there is a clear focus on self-educational processes, experimentation, and collaborative design – ideal for a family-friendly holiday offering with educational added value.

Convenient for Families in Gelsenkirchen

The event location is at Neustraße 7 in Gelsenkirchen-Erle. Free parking is available on Neustraße, and the Breite Straße tram stop on line 301 is less than 200 meters away. This significantly eases the journey for families and makes the workshop well-planned.

Conclusion: If you are looking for a creative children’s offering during the summer holidays that combines imagination, logic, and real participation, you will find the perfect family experience here. Secure your spot now and experience live how an idea transforms into a game.
