Grandma’s Games Overview
The challenge of implementing the project Grandma’s Games came from continual development of information technology that has great influence on children today who prefer to play on their computers than with their friends outside the neighborhood. As a reflection of this fact, we started to develop our idea to animate the kids to learn through playing outside the school yard, and meanwhile we used the game as a cause of regional communication and learning.
The Grandma’s games project has a holistic approach to work with students at this age, in correlation with the curriculum. The activities brought new ways of learning that focused on "learning by doing" and all participants of the project were guided by the motto "Let's play games, let’s be friends, let’s learn together!". We used computers as a tool for learning, while the grandma’s games as a working method. This project is a cultural journey through authentic and traditional values with new teaching approaches that have developed a unique approach to lifelong learning.
