Activity Name
Description
The activity is carried out through a board game in which participants will be able to explore the working life and trades and professions of a city, putting into play knowledge and competences.
It should be noted that two activity implementation formats have been designed: face-to-face and online. In-person: Each team (4-5 people) starts the activity by placing the tab in the start box and depending on the number indicated by the die, advance that number of boxes The board has the general structure of the traditional Oca game but incorporates a set of adaptations. This game is cooperative, you must collaborate between the whole group to earn maximum points. The goal is to get the maximum of cards that show the professions of the different spaces that make up the city (the competency cards should not be added).se).
The game ends when a team reaches the final square of the board. That is when they review the cards obtained by each team. The number of cards will determine the level achieved by the group (described in the game instructions). Cards can be obtained based on the passing of different types of tests (mimicry, explanation of the profession without using any words or reading a specific definition), in a limited time. If you fail the test, the profession card must be returned to the pile, without displaying it, at the end of the pile and will pass the turn to the next group.
The board also has squares that will show different cases where the workers of the city have put into play (or not) a specific work competition during their work. These boxes will allow you to advance (or not) in the group path.
Digital: In this case, although the activity is also carried out as a group, it is the teacher who is responsible for managing the board, spins, etc. Likewise, the typology of tests can be simplified, adapting to the context of the game (i.e. if done in person, but with digital resources or online). See instructions.
