TRADITIONAL BRITISH GAMES

 

Shared by Silvia García:

The cross curricular project for 3ºESO that I have created involves Physical Education, Music, Arts and Crafts, Technology and English.

Physical Education

In PE we are going to do a Traditional British games didactic unit. To do it our students will work in groups so they will be in charge of learning specially about one of the games so they will be able to explain it later to their classmates and also, they will work on the creation of the materials together.

We will play different games such as Ringing the bull, Jumping the rope (skipping rope) singing songs (Robin Hood, Teddy Bear,  Jump With Me or Bumper Car), Skittles or Toad in the hole. Here is a great website to know more about Skittles. https://www.tradgames.org.uk/games/Skittles.htm 

Technology and Arts and Crafts

In order to play different games, we need to create the specific materials that we are going to need in Technology, and they will decorate them in Arts and Crafts. They can learn how people from other countries do their own materials to play these games, they can also learn how they decorate them and the techniques they use to do it.

Music

They will also learn songs in Music so they will be able to sing them while doing different activities such as jumping the rope. They will learn where from are these songs, and how important they are for people’s culture.

English

They can learn about the British culture and the places where they play these games, also about the time of the year that they play them, etc. They can also learn about similarities with Spanish traditional games and specific vocabulary that they will need to play.

They will play the games when everything will be finish. They will enjoy their own creations and also the high school will earn more materials for the PE area because we can ask our students to give us their creations after the unit so more students can enjoy and learn about British games.
