Educational Food Game

.
Donated by Worldsupporter Juliette Kwee
This is an educational game in which the children can learn about healthy food.
The teacher makes a circle (from paper or on a blackboard). The children get the different kinds of food and they can put it on the right place on the blackboard or paper.
There is also food which shouldn’t be on the circle, because it is unhealthy food. The children have to place this on a ‘garbage place’.
Also it is possible to evaluate with the children about what they did right and what went wrong.

Lesidee rekenen uit de oude doos: 24game

Ten tijde van de flippo rage van 1995 tot 1997 is er een serie uitgebracht die als rekenles nog altijd mogelijkheden biedt: de 24 game serie. Bij deze flippos moest je met de vier getallen op de achterkant een som bedenken die uitkomt op 24. Aangezien de meeste flippos nu in verzamelingen zitten, is het praktischer om het rekenspel te spelen met slechts de nostalgische herinnering aan flippos.
In spelvorm speelde je dit door een blaadje, liefst een beetje stevig) met daarop vier getallen in een 2x2 tabel te zetten. De getallen die je gebruikt zijn 1 t/m 9 en cijfers mogen meerdere keren...
