Teachers Hall Pass

When your lessons compete with video games, reality shows, and the never-ending “be-doop” of instant messaging, how do you breathe life into learning and capture your student’s attention? Add some games!

Games in the classroom bring studies -- and students -- to life! That’s why we created the FREE Teacher’s Hall Pass Program at the Origins Game Fair. The Teacher’s Hall Pass gives you a unique opportunity to find games that support your classroom needs.

The Teacher’s Hall Pass gives access to a series of special classes and events specially designed for teachers. Plus it gives you a free 5-day Origins badge, with hundreds of game companies on the exhibit hall floor and thousands of events where you can see and play games of all kinds.

Trade tips with teachers at all grade levels and get some time to learn, laugh, and play with the Teacher’s Hall Pass at the 2008 Origins Game Fair. Best of all, it’s FREE!

The Teacher’s Hall Pass program is open to teachers at all grade levels, resource center specialists, school librarians, principals, college professors, homeschoolers, and public librarians.

In 2006, the Teacher's Hall Pass program was expanded to include librarians and homeschoolers. The program has benefitted from the interesting and diverse perspectives these groups have brought to the program. 

If you have a question as to whether or not you are eligible, please contact Program Coordinator Steven Verdoliva.
