The Garbage Game is another garbage game that arranged in narrative and certain situation that can help students practice many language abilities in an interesting way.
I played the game twice and it was quite easy to play and direct in choice. At first time, I chose what I do regularly and the results are not that good. At second time, I chose the greener way to do with the garbage and it comes better. This game is not as interesting as the Third World
Farmer but it involves more reading and more accessible for those who don't like games.
In terms of language learning objectives. This game can make students read more and read repeatedly. Also it can let students compare several choices and make their own choice for better result.
Assessment of the objectives may lie on the understanding of passages and making proper decisions upon given information. For example, reading a paragraph and then do multiple choices can be used to test the understanding ability of students in this case.
I'm glad that you tried both this game and the Third World farmer in order to compare them.
