Description

How can hybrid games & physical exercise help special needs students in the ages of 12-20 years old collaborate better and build more trust in themselves and others to become more independent? A project in collaboration with Orion and Lectorate Games & Play.

First teeny tiny talk

“Miss (Anne)! I heard you’re making a game? I watched Jeugdjournaal and they made a game with math!”

You like games?

“Yes!”

And math?

“Yes! Learning while playing a game is very cool.”

So you like playing?

“Yes, I’m always alone during recess listening to music but I want to play with other kids.”

 

“I really, really like that you’ll make a game for our school, we’re very lucky! It is cool.”

 

“Miss!? Can I call you miss? Or aren’t you a teacher?”

I’m not a teacher, but if you want you can call me miss, or Jill.

Then I’ll call you miss because I really like that.”

What is your name?

I’m Santoshi and you probably won’t believe me if I say I’m 17 years old, the 24th of march is my birthday.”

My birthday is a month later! You having a big party when you’re 18?

Cool! Yes, I’m having a party. I really like listening to Nick & Simon. And I secretly listen to Kabouter Plop..”

Draai een keer in het rond!

“I really like that one!”

Me too..
