EDUCATIONAL POSSIBILITIES

There are many ways to use this game in order to gain body image knowledge:

– Through vocabulary: naming, pointing out, representing body parts and possible positions,

– The child can copy a model that the practitioner has prepared and printed beforehand,

– Making this character experience a situation, a sport, an activity, a time of day,

– Replicating the image themselves, in front of a mirror,

– Simply letting the child create a character (with or without instructions), bring it to life and make it move, so they can be the creator of a story,

-Working on spatial concepts: under/over, front/back, right/left, next to/far from an object…

notions of relativity: taller than, smaller than, bigger than…

notions of temporality: night/day, seasons

-Having the option to create friezes of an evolving movement or posture, making an action take place over time

– Option to create pictograms for communication

We will offer information sheets for therapists: occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychomotor therapists and teachers.
