Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Put practical processes in order: making compost, planning a month's money, mending something, and backing up data.

What's in the worksheet

4 rounds, a put-in-order game with 4 steps each - Compost: gather scraps > chop small > layer with soil > water and turn until rotted - Monthly money: total income > take out necessary expenses > set savings aside > spend the rest - Mending: examine it > find the cause > get the tools > mend and test - Backing up: choose important files > copy to the backup > check it all copied > repeat regularly

How to use it in class

Use to review processes from several units in one lesson. 8 minutes. - Play in teams of 4; each child holds one step card and the team lines up before answering - For round 2, try it with the children's real snack money - If many miss round 2, ask "If we spend on wants first, will there be enough for needs?" - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.

Common sticking points

- In round 2, setting savings aside before necessary expenses, the pay-yourself-first rule many sources teach; accept it in discussion even though the game puts needs first - In round 1, watering before heaping, from never having made compost - In round 4, putting repeat regularly before checking the copy
