I thought that this was a very interesting article because I thought this game was a very good way to know about other cultures. I recall playing this game when I was young, but it was not for educational purposes. I thought this was a good icebreaker for students to know each other in a comfortable setting. I think that this was a good idea to let the students know each other in a group setting and know about each other’s cultures. I think that this is good because know when I meet people I do not here much about their culture so this is a comfortable way to know others.
I found this article interesting. I use to love playing this game as a little kid. I found it to be a great strategy for the children to get to know one another. Children become very interactive through games. Including their cultures made it like a competition, making the children pay more attention to who said what. Also, knowing a little about one's culture (other than their favorite color or animal) can create a better understanding of one's life and can build a strong relationship.
By the title of the Article I just assumed that the childhood game would not go with a culture class. But it is amazing how they took a none educational game and made into a game were they did not just meet each other but learned about thier culture also. This could be used in alot of classroom with a variety of games. The fact that the class came up with it was pretty amazing.
This article was very interesting. Heads Up, Seven Up is just usually a game played by little children to have fun, or at least thats what I had previously thought. By taking that childhood game that people already look at as fun, you can merge educational lessons into it, but in a way that kids dont see as boring. By making it a fun time, you can see how kids can really get involved. If kids are more relaxed as they have fun, they will be more open. And by having them be open, they will share more and the class can learn more. Another thing I really liked here in this story was how the idea was student driven. The teacher was caught off guard and cautious about this idea that was presented before her, but the class was enthusiastic about it. I think that was a major key here, as the class was already excited to do it, which allowed more to be learned. I definitely think that this would be a fun and easy way for teachers to mask certain education lesson plans with a fun game. And by doing something like this, the class can have fun and learn at the same time
