Solution

Building set With Building set a situation has to be created on the basis of verbal instructions. There are a number of different ways in which to play this: 1) A player takes the board and puts up the partition. The second player takes a task card and tells the first player what he or she has to build. They check together to see whether the task has been carried out correctly.

2) Each player takes a board and puts up the partition. The players then take it in turn to place an element on the board and tell the other player where they have put it. They then remove the partition and see whether they have built exactly the same situation.

3) Each player takes a board and puts up the partition. One player makes his or her own design and tells the other player what he has put where so that the other player can create it.

4) The first player selects a task and gets the second player to carry it out using a plan in stages. Starting from the middle, which is the star on the board, instructions are given. For example, “Go 2 steps up and place a yellow house there�.

Building set can also be played individually. A task card is taken and the task created on the board. The solution is given on the back of the task card. Children can work independently and check what they have done themselves.

Suitable for 2 children, aged 5 and above.

Chef & co In our society, healthy food and exercising are very topical themes. Chef & co makes it possible to discuss these themes in a recognisable and pleasant way. There is nothing that is so personal and diverse as the way in which people have meals. For this reason, Chef & co is extremely suitable for discussing the diversity and multicultural dimensions of our society. It should not be just a game; children can also discover that pancakes are made differently by different people. The connection with talking about being ill or healthy is obvious. In other words, Chef & co is pre-eminently suitable for working in an innovative way.

Aim of the game

Collect the 5 different ingredients for your dish and a card with a cook in order to show that you have also done exercises. The first to complete his or her menu and owns a card with the cook, has won the game.

‘Know what you are eating’ puzzle The ‘Know what you are eating’ puzzle teaches children about healthy food, what you should eat on a daily basis and in which ratio. The pyramid-shaped puzzle is divided into seven rows. The largest part of the puzzle (the bottom row) is about exercise. This is most important. The top row consists of sweets. These are not necessary for a balanced diet and therefore have the smallest section. In between are other groups of foodstuffs that provide very important building materials for a healthy body. By using this material actively, children begin to understand the importance of healthy food and learn its various uses.

Individually or in a group, suitable for children aged 3 and above.

Areas of development

To develop listening skills in a fun and meaningful way, Rolf has designed this listening game.

Auditive perception is all about listening, a skill essential for reading. Children need to learn how to listen and identify and distinguish sounds and words.

Different elements are hidden as shadows in four different situations: the woods (identify animals and the sounds they make), the beach (identify typical beach noises), the orchestra (identify the musical instruments) and home (identify sounds in the house). All the sounds of these elements are on the CD-ROM. The children choose a situation and listen to the CD-ROM. They recognise and identify 10 different noices. Once all the sounds have been found, they can check (self-verification) whether the task was performed correctly.

Suitable for children aged 5 and above.

Bingo animal sounds This listening game with animal sounds is ideal for contributing actively to the development of focussed listening. Short, intensive listening periods help young children to develop active listening and provide effective learning situations for improving oral language skills. Listening is the number one language skill that is essential for children to develop other language skills. The importance of stimulating listening skills applies for native speakers of the language, but also for multilingual children and those who speak a different mother tongue. Listening is the skill that activates all other processes (thought processing, understanding and acting).

For 8 to 16 children, for the whole class or small groups, aged 3 and above.

The fair maiden’s dance Areas of development

Knight’s empire Knight’s empire has 3 continuous games which help to develop the understanding of amounts and numbers.

The common theme in these games is about the knights who are on their way to the fair maiden’s ball. In the first game ‘Through the wood’, the knights collect euros with which to buy their kit in the second game called ‘Sword and Shield’. In the third game ‘Dancing with the fair maiden’, they have to search for 4 objects to take to the ball.

This box with games can be used throughout the year. The first game, which relates to the concept of more and less, can be presented at the start of the school year. While the children gain counting skills (they spontaneously add amounts), the other games can also be offered. The games vary in degree of difficulty. The games and theme are exciting and appeal to children. This means that they will be motivated to play the games often. Can be used remedially for children who do not yet have any proper knowledge of amounts or numbers.

Suitable for 2 to 4 children aged 4 to 7.

Dottie’s counting party Counting quantities in various situations is the basis for elementary calculation. Using a variety of appealing materials, and through numerous activities, children learn to recognize and apply spatial structures in different ways. A ladybug was chosen because it has six legs and six dots. Six is a fundamental and familiar spatial structure (dice pattern). For the purpose of recognizability, all activities are introduced by a plush ladybug (to be ordered separately). “Dottie” helps children how to cleverly determine a quantity without having to count objects one by one.

Frog jumps numbers In developing the understanding of numbers, 3 factors play a major part: 1. counting, 2. giving meaning to numbers, 3. linking numbers to symbols (learning the figures, reading and writing figures, insight into the structure of numbers and learning the calculation signs). ‘Frog jumps numbers’ playfully helps children develop their sense of numbers. This is done in different ways and with different lines of numbers. Children learn to recognize and name numbers, discover which number is higher or lower and which place a number has in the line of numbers.

Count to 20 ‘Count to 20’ is developed for children who are already proficient at counting and can link numbers to quantities. With ‘Count to 20’ quantities up to 20 are explored and counted in various ways. This helps to further develop the concept of numbers. Children learn to compare, arrange and structure (make groups of ) quantities so that counting becomes easier. They carry on counting starting from a quantity they can take in, in one go.

The children can check their exercises using the self-verification cards. Children who still experience quantities and structures as difficult, can complete the game board with the aid of the self-verification card. This way they discover how the system works as they use it and, once they have got the hang of it, they can try to complete the game boards first and then check what they have done using the self-verification cards afterwards.

This is how you measure the snake This is the length of the snake

Two mirror-image snakes

Measure pleasure with snakes A fun group activity which playfully brings children in contact with measurement and geometry. The snakes can be put together in a wide variety of lengths, shapes and colours. Questions spontaneously arise when laying out a snake: how long is it? Which snake is the longest? What is equally long? Which one consists of more pieces, and does this also make it longer? Apart from measuring exercises, it is also possible to make mirror-image snakes or series of colours, also in combination with lengths. Do two snakes with the same colour pattern have the same length? ‘Measure pleasure with snakes’ offers many possibilities and fun challenges.

A snake is always crooked, never straight, so what is the best way to measure a snake? It’s very hard to measure a snake using a ruler! Therefore use a string and place it carefully on the white line in the middle of the snake.

Measure your snake and then attach a clothes peg to the piece of string where the snake ends. Now take the metre strip and compare the length of your string with the metre and see how long it is.

Areas of development

Because children can put together blocks in a variety of ways, block play is divergent play. And divergent play with blocks may prepare kids to think creatively and better solve divergent problems. Children learn about sizes, shapes, numbers, order, area, length, patterns and weight as they select, build with, and put away blocks.

Wooden blocks naturally appeal to young children, connecting blocks challenges more cognitive skills.
