Evaluation of our game
Our group consisted of Simona, Miglė, Tomas,
Lukas, Julie and Nicole. It hasn't really changed since last year. Sadly,
Miklas and Edvinas had to leave.
To significantly improve communication we
created a chat group on Facebook. We exchanged ideas and finally settled on one
which we thought was the best. The Danish group agreed too. The game which we
had decided upon was a board game. When your figure lands on a certain spot, you
have to pull out a card (there were two types of cards: a question and an
equation) or solve an equation if your spot says you to do so. When it came to
the logbook, the Danish students offered to make a video of how we
communicated. We thought it was a brilliant idea and agreed to it. However, we
were responsible for making the video about the game. The video didn't take
long to make and we're happy with how it turned out.
When it came to communicating with each other,
we used mostly Facebook and Skype. There weren't any problems apart from having
different timetables.
On the 13 of February, we introduced the game
to the 8th grade students. When we came into the classroom where the event was
held, the first thing we saw was the 8th grade students studying for our games.
It came as a bit of a surprise and none of us thought they would be preparing
for our game. Nearly all 8th grade students groups played our game. When it
came to explaining the game, there were virtually no problems - everyone understood the game. At the end of
the game we discovered a flaw with it. When a group of 4 students came and
played the game we ran out of equation cards so we had to give the same ones to
them. When a group of 3 students came we realised that the game is designed for
only 4 players. Everyone gave positive feedback and I think they enjoyed as
much as we did. The game was a real success despite the lack of questions.
Here are some pictures of how the board game looks:
You guys made a great job. I lked your ideas and your involvement.
