Participants and material:<\/strong> approx. 9 – 30 Xbrick\u00ae per class

\nGame set-up:<\/strong> Enough space for building

\nGame procedure:<\/strong> The pupils are given objects or animals whose size they should recreate with Xbrick, e.g. the length of a car.

\nGoal:<\/strong> to replicate the real sizes as well as possible – then measured with the meter stick

\nAdded value:<\/strong> The game promotes understanding of space and length, physical and material relationships, teamwork & communication and problem-solving strategies<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOur augmented reality app Xplore<\/strong><\/a>goes well with this game.

 

The app, which runs on every iPad, recognizes Xbrick 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:<\/strong> approx. 20-30 Xbrick\u00ae per class

\nPlay structure:<\/strong> The Xbrick\u00ae is set up as a platform = \u201cice floe\u201d, the children stand on the platform. Be careful during the game so that no one falls off the ice floe.<\/p>\n

Gameplay:<\/strong> Now it gets warm and the \u201cice floe\u201d starts to melt. The game master, who is standing outside, reduces the size of the ice floe by taking Xbrick further and further away.<\/p>\n

Goal:<\/strong> 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 \u201cgoes down\u201d.

\nAdded value:<\/strong> The game promotes collaboration & cooperation, development of the group climate and the removal of inhibitions and barriers<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
