GAME OF CARDS


 


General objectives:                             ASSESSMENT suggestions

To stimulate listening, reading and speaking skills

   To illustrate the concept of gamification.


Specific objectives:

To design a game of cards

Timing and Development:


The gamification of learning is an educational approach to motivate students to learn by using video game designand game elements in learning environments. Wikipedia.

Ask students to grab a deck of French or Spanish cards -or just pieces of paper- and write down these words on them. First two columns are similar to all games, but Verbs and Complemets increase the difficulty of the game.

How to play RUMMI – for four players

Deal ten cards to each player, by turns each player tries to link at least three cards with a meaningful phrase and puts them down on the table at the same time the player reads them out loud. for example: I AM PLAYING.

If the player can not put together any meaningful phrase, he or she should get one more card from the deck. 

Once a player has come up with a meaningful phrase, then he or she can pick up any of the cards on the table and use them in their own game as long as three meaning cards are left on the table. For example: if I got the card WELL, I could add it to the previous set to read I AM PLAYING WELL, 

The player who gets rid of all his/her cards before or accumulates more points is the winner. 

Many wild cards should be included to ensure sentence coherence.

Solitaire Game

Hold up the whole deck in your hands, take two cards, put the first one on top of the table, take a second pair of cards, try to link the card on the table with the first card of the second pair of cards; put together one sentence of four cards, then start again.
