Abstract
In non-formal settings, intrinsic motivation becomes a major issue to keep in mind when designing an educational game. To understand how to make motivating, entertaining and playful educational games, the Embodied Narratives technique has been used to co-design social games with children. This paper discusses the motivation of using this technique as well as some of the findings drawn from its application.
