Step 2

I showed it to the children and explained what we would be using it for, which was to recreate the alphabet by placing the DVD until they got the letter shape. After explaining the game to the children they were ready for the game

I watched and supervised the children as they created and played the engaging educative game

Describe the purpose of the educational game you created. What do you want to teach with the game?

The purpose of the educational game I created for the children, which was Alphabet recreation with an old DVD, was to improve their creativity skills. As they constructed the letter, they developed their memory, concentration and critical thinking.
However, what I want to teach them in the game is essential skills, critical thinking for real-world implementation, lessening anxiety and stress related to creativity and improvising knowledge.

In your own words explain how is played

Old DVDs are to be shared among the kids, 26 DVDs to each child, telling them 26 represent the total number of alphabets we have. So they are to use it to recreate any alphabet the game coordinator will mention, be it an uppercase letter or lowercase, whichever is mentioned randomly, they are to recreate it. And and time frame should be set to get a winner. For the children, I set a time frame by counting from 1 to 50 to see who finishes before the stop time. I set the timing to add excitement and challenge. However, after the game, I celebrated both of them not picking a winner because While playing the game, it was focused on alphabet creation rather than point values.

Did the child like the game? Was he bored or entertained? Do you think this game contributed to the child's learning? Tell us about your experience and that of the child playing the educational game.

The children enjoyed the game as it was fun and interactive. There was never a boring moment while the game was played.

Of course, it contributed to the children's learning as it built their self-esteem and confidence. It also developed their critical thinking as it made them learn with fun and exposed them to a new way of creating alphabets.
Meanwhile, I enjoyed the educational game time with them and was impressed with the children's communication skills, focus and creative skills.

For the children, as the game began, they had that initial excitement to play the game as I noticed their laughter and enjoyment. They were so involved with their own imagination and creative skill when trying to arrange the DVDs to form an alphabet. However, there was frustration and disappointment when the alphabet was not taking the correct shape as they tried to beat the timing, so I adjusted the game difficulty by increasing the timing to suit them.

Don't forget to upload photos or videos of the child playing the educational game.

It was an educative and fun time with the idea of exploring and learning with things in our surroundings.

I invite @chima09 @patjewell and @stef1
