Beyond The Headlines is EAVI’s online news verification game. We developed it with the help of EAVI’s individual members and have tested it at our Beyond Fake News workshop at ECAS with a great response.

Instructions to use the game in a classroom setting –

  • put students into groups of 3 or 4 people
  • distribute copies of the pdf to students with examples of news and information content of varying veracity (some examples and resources are below).
  • students then analyse their content according to each of the 20 points and 1 bonus question using online search tools to investigate
  • when they have finished ask each group to present their content and their findings in front of the class and write their final score on the board
  • compare the lowest and highest scores the groups received and discuss how everyone came to their own conclusions about their content

EXTRA: The Beyond the Headlines game can be used in unison with our Beyond Fake News infographic and the 5 Media Concepts and Questions. Students can use all three tools to write a report about the content they are given or have chosen themselves.
