LADY WHO? An amazing educational game

Another activity carried out with my students for our eTwinning project was to design and create the game called LADY WHO?

The aims of the game is not only to promote our project but also to make students know the importance of the 20 Wonder Women in history and to practice and improve the foreign languages used in the project: Spanish, English and French.

You can see through the following pictures how we designed and created our game:

1. We made laminated cards with the information about our 20 Wonder Women in Spanish, English and French:

2. The cartoons designed by the teacher Domingo Valero and his students were printed in small oval-shaped laminated cards:

  3. Two boards were made of purple eva foam, and we placed twenty black stars on each one:

4. The twenty cartoon cards were placed on the black stars:

5. All the material produced were placed in strategic places inside a black box, which was very similar to a case:

6. On top of the black case, one can see the front cover, designed by the student María Ramos with the assistance of the teacher Marco Sosa:

7. As in all the games, some rules of the game were needed. The teachers, Pedro de la Peña and Esperanza Cabezas were given the job of writing the rules in Spanish. Then, these rules were tanslated into English by Ciara Rock and in French by María López and Mercedes Guerrero. After that, a brochure was designed to be placed into the box:

8. This way, one of the games was ready. The following step would be to create another one in exactly the same way for our Irish partners. My students and I spent some time during the breaks to do that and finally the game was sent to Ireland by postal mail:

9. Before cataloguing the game in our school library, El Rincón de los Sueños, students had the opportunity to play the game during the breaks:

We are completely sure that this game will be used as a major resource for language teaching in both schools.
