Let’s play Salixbol

“Let’s play Salixbol” is a project that helps in the learning of the individual and collective sports tactics, working through the Information Communication Technologies (ICT), and being used for students as a “game” they invent while they are playing with it. As it has been said, students will practice with the different movements players do in the most collective sports while they will be inventing the rules they think are appropriate to play the best way. Once they’ve practiced the game, they have two weeks to vote through the Internet the rules they have decided are the best. When we have the results, the project conductor (Salix) will announce the semi-definitive rules of the “Salixbol”, in which we will mix the preferences of the students. After this, students have until May to elaborate their own game. The definitive game the school chooses has to be sent as a “Word” document at our Web. In this document, it has to be said how they’ve choosen these rules and, for the most important ones, why they’ve chosen them.
Through this project, students that attend physical education & sports classes learn in a simple game the elemental tactics of sports like handball, soccer, basket or hockey. The game has been thought for pupils from 10 to 12 years old, although for kids from different countries. We expect schools from all over the world to contact and work together in the creation of this new game because working together in education means increasing the quality.
