DA#38 – Holding Hands with the Shadow

How can I keep trace of the shadow?

This atelier is dedicated to the scientific phenomenon of shadows. The children, both at school and at home, play with the shadows of their bodies and hands, and experiment with how shadows change as they move through space and time. At home children produce ‘family shadows’ and go on a shadow hunt to build the basis for in-depth artistic studies and the creation of imaginary characters and stories.

DA#28 – Building Stories

Can digital tools help children to develop language?

Yes!

By listening to the story and the song using technological resources (Tablet, PC and Smartphone), children develop language, above all by retelling the story, recording the song and the stories made with the families using the different digital applications. In the end, using the App Book Creator, you can build a book, with the stories elaborated in collaboration with the families and create a theater performed by the children.

DA#2 – Emotion Memory Game

Can you recognize and imitate simple emotions?

In a social environment, it’s important to be able to recognize emotions (yours and those of your peers) to communicate. This atelier helps children recognize emotions using a milestone of the digital culture: the smileys 😀

In the first part, children will discover emotions and mimic them. They play a memory game to associate smileys and faces.

In the second part, the children take pictures and use Learning Apps to create in school their own memory game with pictures taken at home with their family. This game will then be played at school with all the pupils so they get to know their classmates’ family members in a playful way.
