Voor de docent

Instructie zonder device

Haal om de beurt een leerling naar voren.

Laat, net als bij memory, steeds twee hotspots openen. Één hotspot met een emoji, één hotspot met een ei.

Hebben zij de juiste combinatie, altijd bestaand uit een verhaal en een ei met overeenkomstige emoji, dan verslepen ze deze naar het ei met dezelfde versiering.

TIP 1: Maak er een groepsuitdaging van door de klas op te dragen met zo min mogelijk beurten de opdracht te maken.

Een timer aan de slide toevoegen kan ook voor extra spanning en betrokkenheid zorgen. 

TIP 2: Verdeel de klas in twee teams die tegen elkaar strijden.

Instructie met device

Laat de leerlingen in tweetallen spelen.

Om de beurt openen zij, net als bij memory, steeds twee hotspots. Één hotspot met een emoji, één hotspot met een ei.

Hebben zij de juiste combinatie, altijd bestaand uit een verhaal en een ei met overeenkomstige emoji, dan verslepen ze deze naar het ei met dezelfde versiering.

TIP 1: Geef aan dat degene die de meeste paren weet te maken het spel wint.

TIP 2: Vertel dat het tweetal dat de minste beurten nodig heeft wint.

Throwing pots out of the window is an Easter tradition most famously associated with the Greek island of Corfu.

This tradition, 'Botides', takes place on the Saturday before Easter at exactly 11:00 am.

The reasons behind this custom are:

• Welcoming spring and renewal: The tradition symbolises breaking the old to welcome the new, which perfectly aligns with spring and the resurrection of Jesus.

• Shards bring luck: Breaking the earthenware pots (pitchers) is meant to ward off bad luck and bring good fortune and prosperity for the coming year.

• Making noise: The loud noise of the breaking pots is traditionally seen as a way to chase away evil spirits.
