Remember Anything

Dr Aric Sigman paints a grim picture in his book, “Remotely Controlled” how over exposure to media and particularly television, is detrimentally affecting our lives. Most importantly, he details how that affect is significant for the young.

The effect appears perniciously through learning difficulties. Unfortunately, once affected it appears complex to turn back the clock..

Simply, many children are shows signs of ADHD and consequently have short attention spans making teaching these children challenging.

How to educate our young in an overstimulated world

Being concerned for the welfare of future generations – we stumbled onto a solution – and it was completely by accident. These children need to be active so actively educate.

How this comes about is linked to how we happen to feel in the presence of large things.  For example objects like Eyre’s Rock in Australia, The Pyramids in Egypt, and The Eiffel Tower in Paris are some that come to mind.

We appear to be captivated with the larger than normal.Large things do catch our attention.

In a similar fashion, moving from a table top game to something you have to walk around and where you don’t have board pieces because you are the pieces, it becomes “Alice in Wonderland” like. We’ve found it holds the attention of children and adults.

It’s with this reasoning behind us that we developed giant games to teach.

Giant games for improved educational outcomes

There’s now an extensive choice of these giant games to teach children and gain improved educational outcomes. Kids live the experience of learning by being physically active and moving and so learn in a more participative and memorable style of learning.

We’ve observed how aboriginal education with giant games worked extraordinarily well because traditionally these stories were told by sitting and looking at images scratched in the sand. Giant games, with the ability to share stories of Country all seems so much more natural for those learning.

Raising funds with giant games is proving to be equally popular with those organizing school fetes, fairs and community events.  Games when played at this size involve having fun together and this builds community. It creates a great atmosphere.

Giant games for teaching are seen by innovative teaching professionals as groundbreaking.
