Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Practises recognising Thai and local arts: Thai patterns, kites, krathong, Thai instruments and how they are played, regional folk performances, and local materials such as banana leaf, bamboo and clay. Fits indicator ศ 1.2 ป.2/2 on local visual arts and the materials used.
What's in the worksheet
4 rounds, match 4 pairs each - so (Thai fiddle) goes with bowing; chakhe (Thai zither) goes with plucking - nora goes with the South; soeng goes with the Northeast - bamboo goes with weaving baskets; clay goes with making pots - sky lanterns go with a northern tradition
How to use it in class
Use in a local-arts unit or before Loy Krathong, about 8 minutes, team mode. If you have clips of a so, a chakhe, or nora and soeng dancing, play 30 seconds before that round. When a round goes badly, ask "What performances or crafts do we have in our own area?" to tie it to the children's home. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.
Common sticking points
- So and chakhe: most Grade 1 children have never seen a chakhe and do not know the Thai words for bowing and plucking. Mime both first. - Regions round: soeng and fon lep often get swapped because both are unfamiliar. Use the long fingernails of fon lep as a memory hook. - Ramwong and the Central region: children elsewhere may hesitate since ramwong is danced nationwide. Accept the point.
