THE IRISH AND SPANISH IN ITALY
Today the
Irish and Spanish guests are coming back home. When they arrived in Ceccano,
the first day visited our school, that was decorated with flags and posters,
than they attended lessons with us even if they didn’t understand Italian very
well. On second day, they went to “Castro Dei Volsci”, a small town near
Ceccano where they had a typical lunch. The last day, we played old Irish,
Spanish and Italian games all together. Finally, they ate typical cakes made by
our mums.
New Games VS Old Games
Last year the Secondary School of Ceccano and
Arnara joined the Comenius project, together with other schools from Spain,
Turkey and Ireland. The project’s argument was the GAME, in particular nowadays
games and old games, played by our parents
and grandparents.
During the school year we worked together our teachers and parents to re-discover old games and even to make them with wood, plastic and all poor and recycled materials. This experience let us know how our parents spent their free time and we also learnt that it is possible to enjoy even without electronic games, TV and PC. Once children spent their free time outdoor, in the town squares and in the streets near their houses, just running with wood wheel or on old bikes, but sharing hours together and exchanging ideas and feelings.
Nowadays children mostly spend their time at home, taken apart by new technologies that prevent them from being in contact with their peers: computer games, TV and Internet are big opportunities for children and youths nowadays but they are also potentially a risk for socialization.
While
involved in re-discovering old games, we also entered in contact with our roots
and with our culture.
Here is just an example of ancient and modern games.
ANCIENT GAMES
Game of the bell
2 players or more; Children have to
jump in numbered squares catching a little “treasure” (a little stone)
Hide and Seek
3 guys or more; 1 blindfolded child
has to look for hidden companions
Spinning top
2 children or more; Children throw a
little tool that turns on a tip; the one who lasts longer wins
MODERN GAMES
Computer games
1 child has to solve different
levels of a game
Games Social networks
People have to challenge other ones
but without a direct contact.
Video games
1 child has to solve different
levels of a game
Just only
by this simple analysis it appears clear that old games promoted socialization,
instead modern games are very individual and tends to isolate children.
What do you think about? Let us know your
ideas!!!
