Sample questions

A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.

  1. Put the steps of making a woodcut in order.

    • Cut away what you do not want
    • Draw the design on the block
    • Lay the paper on and press
    • Roll ink over the block
    Read the explanation

    Cut the block before you ink it and press.

  2. Put the steps of designing a poster in order.

    • Check it reads, then produce it
    • Choose the colours and the type
    • Settle the message
    • Sketch the layout

    • Read the whole piece through
    • Work each section slowly

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Practises ordering Grade 5 processes: making a woodcut, designing a poster from its key message, learning a new piece from reading the notes up to full speed, and weaving from preparing yarn to sewing. Supports indicator ศ 1.1 ป.5/1.

What's in the worksheet

4 rounds, order 4 steps each - sketch on the wood > cut away the unwanted parts > roll ink on the block > lay paper and press - decide the key message > sketch the layout > choose colours and fonts > check clarity, then produce - read through the whole piece > practise one section slowly > join the sections > speed up to full tempo - spin and dye the yarn > set up the loom > weave > sew and finish

How to use it in class

Use before a printmaking or poster project, about 6 minutes, solo. After the poster round, have children write their own poster's key message straight away. The new-piece round fits whatever song the class is learning on instruments. When a round goes badly, ask "If we skip this step, what goes wrong?" Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.

Common sticking points

- Poster: children often start with "choose colours and fonts" because it is the fun part. Stress you must know the message first. - New piece: "join sections" and "speed up" may swap; musicians do both orders, so explain the game's reasoning. - Weaving: children who do not know what setting up the loom means will misplace it.
