THE CLUES GAME

This activity must be done before the “GREAT MURAL OF THE ASRAMA” as it will enable us to work the topic assigned to our level.

Once they have the information, the class has to be divided in three or four groups. They will be given a question to be answered with help from the researched information.

When the pupils have the answer, they have to inform the teacher, who will tell them if it was correct or not. If they answered it correctly, they will receive a piece of a puzzle (part of a map with the answer written on the other side) and they will be given another question. The team obtaining the four pieces in the shortest time wins the game.

In order to do this activity, every class must have 4 puzzles divided in four parts, each one of them with an answer to one question.

If there is enough time and the group’s dynamics permits it, the teacher must have hidden the different pieces of the puzzle, as well as an envelope with the next question, around the school’s playground. The teacher will send them to look for that envelope once they have answered correctly instead of simply making the question.

The youngest primary school pupils can answer the question after receiving the teacher’s explanation about the topic. Then, they can go to search for the piece of the puzzle without being divided in groups. In order to answer some of the questions, the pupils will be provided with photocopies from the campaign’s magazine to deepen their knowledge about Atambua.
