“I think this is so good!“

In collaboration with Active Floor, the schools of Asgård, Ellemark and St Nicolai have developed 4 new interactive games which combine learning, play and movement.

Thursday the 4^th of October, Active Floor had invited about 60 students and 6 teachers to a Day of Movement in the showroom in Taastrup. Drafts drawn by hand, a smell of popcorn and a 3-metre wide interactive floor awaited them.

What does a 7^th grade class think is fun, and how do we get them moving in the classroom?

This is what we asked three 7^th grade classes earlier this year when we invited them to our learning workshop at the Entrepreneurship Fair of 2018. The Entrepreneurship Fair is an event where the 7^th grade classes of Køge Municipality work with entrepreneurship and innovation.

With their classmates, and divided into small groups, the students had 50 minutes to try out Active Floor, brainstorm, develop an overall game concept and present their concept to the rest of the class. That day, we got a lot of brilliant ideas presented to us. During the summer, Active Floor has been working on developing these ideas, and the result is 4 completely new games. Now the day had come for Active Floor to show the games to those who contributed with the overall ideas of the games – the three 7^th grade classes which after the summer holidays have become three 8^th grade classes.
