What is a MinecraftParty you are probably wondering?
Redhill Library has run two very successful Minecraft Parties, one in the summer holidays and the latest in October half term. They both took place on Wednesday afternoons from 2.00 – 5.00. Ten computers were made available exclusively for children to play Minecraft on, some children had pre-booked, some came along on the day. On both sessions, 20 children came over the course of the afternoon, most were boys but there were some girls as well. Their ages were between 7 and 11.
A Minecraft server was set up beforehand and if children had their own Minecraft PC account log in they were able to connect to the server. This meant they could build and create in the same world as other children who had also joined the server. In practice most of the children who came used the library Minecraft account log in and played in their own individual world.
Why were the children coming to the Minecraft Party? Several didn’t have access to Minecraft at home or they only have a tablet version and at the party they were able to play on a PC desktop. The other benefit of the party was it allowed children to talk to each other, interact and help each other while building their worlds – all great socialising skills.
On both sessions there was a display of Minecraft books – all available to borrow.
