RESOURCES |
| Stage One: The pupils will be asked to list as many types of game as they can remember. They will then be asked to categorise the games into categories such as: Educational, mechanical, electronic, chance, card, board etc…..They will be shown how to produce a rich picture - main theme in the centre, categories arranged around the theme, extension words on the outer boundary.

It will include a measure of skill (hand/eye coordination) and be fun to use. It will contain an electronic circuit that will be battery powered. The game will be safe and interesting to look at. The brief and problem will be presented using traditional drawing techniques. |
