Game procedure: The pupils are given objects or animals whose size they should recreate with Xbrick, e.g. the length of a car.
Goal: to replicate the real sizes as well as possible – then measured with the meter stick
Added value: The game promotes understanding of space and length, physical and material relationships, teamwork & communication and problem-solving strategies
Our augmented reality app Xploregoes well with this game.
The app, which runs on every iPad, recognizes Xbricks and their position and distance. This allows their distance to be measured. Animals of the appropriate size are displayed in the AR environment to match the distance. And there is a challenge in which, like in an escape room, tasks have to be solved with Xbrick in order to reach the goal. In this case: fly to Mars and set up a base camp there.

Participants and material: min. 8-30 Xbricks® per class, covered with your own picture and word cards
Game set-up: sufficient space
Game sequence: The students work together to find out which pairs belong together and the words are read out loud. The English word for each term can also be added, for example, so that three Xbricks always belong together
Participants and material: approx. 20-30 Xbrick® per class
Play structure: The Xbrick® is set up as a platform = “ice floe”, the children stand on the platform. Be careful during the game so that no one falls off the ice floe.
Gameplay: Now it gets warm and the “ice floe” starts to melt. The game master, who is standing outside, reduces the size of the ice floe by taking Xbrick further and further away.
Goal: Stay together on the ice floe as long as possible – The children move together and support each other so that they don’t fall off the ice floe into the water.
The game is over before the group “goes down”.
Added value: The game promotes collaboration & cooperation, development of the group climate and the removal of inhibitions and barriers
