Let’s learn Russian language with paper game Oflameron
Any board game can be successfully used to learn a foreign language. As an example, we can use the "Oflameron" table game to acquire a good stock of new words. Let us replace the playing field values "Oflameron" with the alphabet of the language we are going to learn (for example, Russian one).
The playing field will look as follows:
The playing field is a 6x6 standard Word-generated table. The table can be edited to learn any language.
To start the game, you need two dies (here we use red and blue dies). The number of scores shown by the blue die is a vertical coordinate of the cell. The number of scores shown by the red die is a horizontal coordinate of the cell in the playing field "Oflameron".
How to play
The players are given the word which translation into the language they have to spell. To make it, the players alternate in throwing dies and write the words from the playing field cells. The person who will spell the word first wins. The game is for the children of 5 or 6 years old. The children over 6 years can spell several words at once or a phrase or a short sentence.
To make the game more interesting, some cells can be replaced with prize pictures such as a Sweet, a Coin, a Joker. A Joker is a prize that can be chosen before the game starts. For example, two Jokers can be exchanged for one music CD
To maintain the interest in game the additional values of boxes can be used in the table. For example, for some boxes the numeral values can be set. For example, [2] and [4]. This allows to implement the system of bonuses in the game and to heighten interest.
If the player’s chip takes the box with value of 2 or 4, the player will gain the right to write down for himself [2] or [4] ARBITRARY Spanish letters, which he is missing for compilation of words. To heighten interest in the game you can introduce in the game other numeral values, for example [6] and [8].
If more experienced players are taking part in the game, the additional scenarios of training can be implemented. For this we can add the value of the box “triangle” and will use the special cards with fragments of Spanish words.
Example of the card with fragment of Spanish word
If the chip of the player takes the box with value “triangle”, the player takes the card with fragment of Spanish word from the pack. For example |SUPER…| and should name in the same time the whole word and its translation. In this example it can be |SUPERFICIE| - surface.
If the answer is right, the player can get as many points as many letters are there in the Spanish word. This means that the player can get points without using the collected letters. If the used card allows compiling the other Spanish words it stays in the game and is returned to the pack. If the participant of the game cannot name the word, the right is transferred to the next player.
The game allows learning every European language. It is enough just to replace the Spanish letters with the letters of other alphabet.
All the materials of the game you can download and print free, or prepare by yourself, using paper and pen. You can organize the training process during 20 minutes. It is enough to remember the rules of the game.
The Game Oflameron is absolutely free for using in the learning process. It is necessarily to save the name and rules of the game.
