Key points

  • What is this? A teacher/parent’s reflections on learning opportunities that exist in and around the Nintendo Switch game Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

  • Why did you make it? I am interested in sharing how the game might be used similarly by other parents and also how I might ultimately use the game with students in my work as a university English instructor.

  • Who is it for? Parents of elementary age children (or above), and teachers at any level.
