SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM

🌾 Jiwa Kampung Game Upload Challenge — Celebrate village life with two original games! (3-Day School Holiday Program)

🎮 What’s Happening?

Across three high-energy days, students aged 7–16 will design, build, and upload two games inspired by Jiwa Kampung (the spirit of village life):

1. Kampung Frenzy (MakeCode Arcade) — a 2-player co-op farming scramble where players plant corn and race to collect harvests into a basket.

2. Upih Racer (GDevelop 5) — a side-scrolling adventure that captures the fun, vibes, and obstacles of kampung life.

🏘️ Why “Jiwa Kampung” Matters

Kampung life is about community, nature, and gotong-royong (helping one another). Your games can:

• Celebrate local traditions and teamwork

• Highlight sustainable living (plant–harvest cycles, sharing resources)

• Showcase kampung icons: rumah kayu, coconut trees, surau, buffalo, chickens, bamboo bridges, kedai runcit, pasar malam

By the end, players should feel the warmth, humor, and teamwork of kampung life.
