ICT activity for the project “Shall we play together…?”

To develop of the project "Shall we play together…?" it is necessary that the students involved in it carry out a series of ICT activities in which they put into practice the use and knowledge of different tools and skills.

The activities I have designed try to achieve the following objectives of the project:

1. To know, discover and value games and sports of the region and other European cultures and countries as proposals for the occupation of leisure and leisure time, and for the improvement of social relations.
2. To carry out research on certain popular games or alternative and / or autochthonous sports of different European regions, and participate in its dissemination in an oral and written way using different languages.
3. To improve the use and knowledge of different no-mother tongue language.
4. To manage and implement different ICT knowledge and tools.

The final product is make or build a big database of traditional and popular games and sport of Europe using videos and cards or scheme of those games and sports. All these database will be located in a web page which will include a digital and interactive map of Europe with the different games and sport.

Once the games have been studied by the group, the children must explain and practice them in a video that will be uploaded to a YouTube or Vimeo channel.

Each one of the games will be subtitled by the groups into two different no-mother tongue language using for example Windows Movie Maker or another different video tools.
