Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Practises sorting Grade 3 art knowledge: secondary versus tertiary colours, plucked versus bowed Thai instruments, masked versus unmasked performances, and crafts from bamboo or rattan versus clay. Supports indicator ศ 1.1 ป.3/1.

What's in the worksheet

4 rounds, sort 4 items into 2 groups - orange and green are secondary; yellow-orange and blue-green are tertiary - chakhe and phin are plucked; so duang and so u are bowed - khon and the demon roles in khon use masks; likay and lakhon ram do not - woven baskets and winnowing trays are bamboo or rattan; clay pots and water jars are clay

How to use it in class

An end-of-unit review, about 5 minutes, team mode. Before the colour round, show a 12-part colour wheel and point out that tertiaries sit between a primary and a secondary. You can play short clips of a so duang and a phin. If the crafts round trips children on the winnowing tray (kradong), show a real one; many city children have never seen it. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.

Common sticking points

- Yellow-orange and blue-green: children may file them as secondary because a secondary name is inside. Stress that a two-word name means one more mixing step. - Phin: many children outside the Northeast do not know it and may guess bowed. - Kradong (winnowing tray): children who do not know it may put it with clay. Show a picture. - Lakhon ram: some guess masked, assuming all classical Thai performance uses masks.
