Our partnership with Roblox brings together our storytelling and educational expertise with the creativity and interactivity of gaming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The game is ultimately a decision-making exercise where players learn about human and physical geography across topics such as tectonic hazards, coasts and population migration, balancing needs of the population, economy and environment. It is mapped to the relevant curricula for 11- to 14-year-olds in the U.K.<\/p>\n<p>The game was developed with the support of the Roblox Community Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the <em>Planet Planners<\/em> game, BBC Bitesize for Teachers is launching a series of geography classroom resources, developed in partnership with the Geographical Association, linked to each of the experience scenarios in the Roblox game. There is also an accompanying set of video resources supporting teachers to use game-based learning. BBC Bitesize is working with Digital Schoolhouse to develop further resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC Children\u2019s and Education\u2019s BBC Bitesize has partnered with Roblox to create Planet Planners, the game platform\u2019s first curriculum-linked educational experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":30238,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[11305,6655,6623,913,11306,5941],"class_list":["post-30235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-adam-seldow","tag-bbc-bitesize","tag-bbc-childrens-and-education","tag-patricia-hidalgo","tag-planet-planners","tag-roblox","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BBC Bitesize Launches Planet Planners Roblox Game - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/bbc-bitesize-launches-planet-planners-roblox-game\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BBC Bitesize Launches Planet Planners Roblox Game - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BBC Children\u2019s and Education\u2019s BBC Bitesize has partnered with Roblox to create Planet Planners, the game platform\u2019s first curriculum-linked educational experience.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/bbc-bitesize-launches-planet-planners-roblox-game\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-08-08T13:55:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-08-08T15:35:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/08\/1-BBCChildrensandEducation-PlanetPlanners-0825.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/bbc-bitesize-launches-planet-planners-roblox-game\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/bbc-bitesize-launches-planet-planners-roblox-game\/\",\"name\":\"BBC Bitesize Launches Planet Planners Roblox Game - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-08-08T13:55:34+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-08-08T15:35:24+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/bbc-bitesize-launches-planet-planners-roblox-game\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/bbc-bitesize-launches-planet-planners-roblox-game\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/bbc-bitesize-launches-planet-planners-roblox-game\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"BBC Bitesize Launches Planet Planners Roblox Game\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
