In this activity through the game we will get to know which are the forms of entertainment through time, that we will deal with in our eTwinning program: "The Evolution of Entertainment". On a cardboard we will create a track with squares on which we will place the cards with the forms of entertainment in different historical time. Children randomly pressing the button from the wordwall app (in which we have created a wheel) will see which card they need to be guided to and think about what they need to do and which arrows to use to get to the correct card. Older toddlers, who may have practiced coding, can be asked to find the shortest path to the goal. The track can also be drawn on the ground (in the classroom with tape or in the yard with chalks) and the children, in pairs, will try to complete their mission. One child will be the robot and the other child will be the guide, who with appropriate instructions will guide the robot to the goal. (To complete this activity cards with the forms and darts will be printed in a larger size). In order for the child-robot to move forward, the driver will tap it lightly on the back. Every hit will also mean a step. For a right turn, the right arm will hit, while for a left turn, the left arm. To move in reverse, he will tap the forehead as many steps as he wants to take. When he reaches his goal he touches both hands in attention. (Moves may vary and children in each school may decide on different moves to reach their goal). The activity is completed after all missions have been completed. Schools that have the bee-bot may use it to complete the activity. Collaborating schools will post their actions in a collaborative presentation on genially. Editing link will be shared with affiliate members.
