Batakas - experience fairness & handle aggression safely <\/h2> Soft foam core<\/h3> Our Batakas have a high-quality foam core. This runs through the entire striking surface. This is what makes our Batakas so safe. A hit with the Bataka club is injury-free and soft. <\/p> Tear-resistant fabric cover<\/h3> The durable red fabric cover endures a lot! With it, children, adolescents and adults can stage the wildest duels and enjoy the high quality of our Batakas for a long time. <\/p> High-quality wooden handle securely encased<\/h3> Our Bataka clubs are thought through down to the last detail. The pleasant wooden handle fits comfortably in children’s and adults’ hands. To provide the necessary safety, our Batakas are equipped with a protective shell made of high-quality plastic. This protects the hands and is securely wrapped by the soft fabric. <\/p> Possible uses - games & exercises for Batakas:<\/h2> Dexterity exercise obstacle course<\/h3> Place soft balls at heights, for example on stacked soft blocks. The task is to knock the soft balls down as quickly as possible with the Batakas and reach the finish line. <\/p> Variant: time it, or race against the sand timer. <\/p> Balance exercise solo<\/h3> A playful duel on solid ground is one thing; on a bench or a balance cushion it becomes more difficult. The children try to keep their balance. Whoever manages to stay on longer wins. Time can also be measured. <\/p> Balance exercise teamwork<\/h3> Children are divided into pairs. The two children stand on a see-saw balance board opposite two other children on another balance board. The pairs try to stay on their own balance board and use the Batakas to push the opposing pair off their board. <\/p> Variant: Place the balance board flat on the ground. Children sit on the balance board and try to push each other off using the Batakas. <\/p> Movement game dragon guardian<\/h3> One child is the guardian, the other the thief. The guardian guards two soft balls <\/a>(dragon eggs). These lie several meters apart in a hula hoop (nest). The thief crawls stealthily behind a screen. For this, for example, the foam arches from our wobble arch sets are suitable. The guardian tries to hear on which side of the screen the thief will come out to protect the nearby egg in time. The thief obtains the egg if they manage to push it out of the nest (hula hoop) with the Bataka. The guardian wins if they touch the thief first with their Bataka. <\/p> Circle game treasure guardian<\/h3> A volunteer child is the brave treasure guardian. They sit in the middle of the circle and wear an eye mask. Their task is to guard the treasure (bell/key,…). One child plays the thief and tries to steal the treasure as quietly as possible without being hit by the guardian’s Bataka. If the thief succeeds, they sit down again. All children hide their hands behind their backs. The treasure guardian gets a chance to guess the thief. After 3 wrong guesses, the thief gives an audible signal with the treasure and the guardian locates the sound. <\/p> <\/p> Role plays<\/h3> The children choose roles. For example, they can slip into the role of a knight. The knightly duel takes place, of course, under honorable knightly rules (see below: Rules for Batakas). <\/p> Letting off steam<\/h3> After the Bataka anger clubs have been introduced (see below: Introducing the Batakas), they can be made quickly available to children by an adult caregiver as a daily option. The child receives the anger club and can choose to use it on a specific object (tree trunk, wall, column, ...) or engage in a supervised duel with the adult. <\/p> Mindfulness & verbal expression of feelings<\/h3> While the child (see above: Letting off steam) gets a channel for the emerging anger, they can give voice to the frustration through verbal support. Accompanying questions from the adult: What is making you so angry right now? Where do you feel the anger most (stomach, head, ...)? Do you already feel the anger subsiding? <\/p> Introduction & rules for Batakas<\/h2> Provide space for questions<\/h3> Situations in which the children are relaxed are best suited. Small groups can also be formed to provide a calm setting for questions that arise. Feel free to ask the children what ideas they have for things they would like to try with the Batakas. Weigh whether these also fit your intention. It is then important to establish rules together to create a framework in which all children feel safe and comfortable. <\/p> Rules for Batakas:<\/h3> To provide a safe environment, it is important to ensure fair conduct. The rules are discussed together with the children. Children should also have the opportunity to express their own limits, which can lead to additional rules. Important points to note are: <\/p> No sharp objects or jewelry to be worn<\/li> Create fair conditions regarding age, size, strength. Adjustments, e.g. by an adult caregiver, adapt to the abilities of the weaker participant <\/li> A duel takes place between 2 people<\/li> Duel partners are asked beforehand if they want to participate <\/li> Start only when both are ready<\/li> A start word is agreed - tip: with a prior high-five or handshake <\/li> A "stop" must be accepted & ends a duel immediately <\/li> The Batakas should strike each other only or at most predetermined body areas agreed together <\/li> Taboos: sensitive body areas such as the face or genitals <\/li> Define room boundaries<\/li> No outsiders enter the area<\/li> <\/ul> <\/p> Emotional & social learning objectives with Batakas:<\/h2> Controlled release of anger & annoyance<\/h4> With our anger clubs, children, adolescents and adults receive an appropriate channel for dissipating rising aggression. In playful one-on-one combat with adult caregivers or peers, frustration can be released together. The Batakas help to prevent swallowing up or suppressing anger. It is also no longer necessary for frustration to shift uncontrolled into destructive aggression. With our anger clubs you create new paths toward more balance and a healthy handling of one’s own feelings. <\/p> Experience respect & fairness<\/h4> With our anger clubs, children, adolescents and adults experience their own limits and those of others. These should be expressed and respected. In the playful duel, a strengthening foundation is thus formed, from which future conflict situations can benefit. <\/p> <\/p> Together. Roughhousing. Measuring strength. With the Bataka anger clubs from KRAFT.<\/strong>

Fröbelturm made of solid wood - tower-building game The Fröbelturm has rightly earned its place among the most popular team games. Its easy-to-understand rules and many possible uses combine exciting fun with active team building. Erecting the Fröbelturm together in cooperative teamwork The aim of the game is to build a tower from the blocks. To achieve this, strings are used to control a hook. The hook fits into the notches of the blocks and is used to build the tower. With combined strength, one block after another is placed on the hook and stacked with the utmost concentration. This can create quite a thrill. An exciting game whose goal can only be reached together. On top: To improve success, we provide the top surface of the hardwood blocks with crossed notches. This allows a fallen block to be easily set upright again using the hook. Strengthening team building & the individual A common goal that connects: Feeling connected to the group. A valuable feeling that can arise even when the players do not yet know each other. Through a shared goal. The collective drive and the resulting sense of togetherness are quickly awakened by the Fröbelturm. A feeling that connects. Change of perspective & empathy: While building the Fröbelturm, the perspective of others is taken into account. If one side, for example, needs to pull tightly, the other lets go. Players learn to think holistically and to put themselves in the position of others. verbal & non-verbal communication: Because everyone must pull together, the necessary cooperation and communication are required. Players bring their own ideas, but must agree on a common direction. It is important to take in what fellow players say and also to express one’s own views to the group. Communication can be verbal but also non-verbal. One of the many game variants even relies on silence during play. An exciting form of implementation. Here the focus is placed once again on learning to read the other players correctly and to express oneself through body language. Creating and implementing solutions together: The Fröbelturm serves as a practical example of a living, democratic community. Problems are recognized and solutions are devised together. Solutions that sometimes require compromise and train the adaptability of individual players. But this does not always mean conforming; presenting one’s own ideas also leads the group to exactly the solutions needed to achieve the common goal. Getting to know the players: The Fröbelturm is a valuable tool for getting to know the players and offers the opportunity to better understand team constellations. Observing the gameplay yields valuable insights. Who plans first and who jumps straight into action? Who is patient, who is impatient?Who takes which role? How are one’s own mistakes handled? And those of others? This helps to better understand teams and to support individual players specifically in their development. Achieving goals together and celebrating success Finally it stands there: The Fröbelturm! Who achieved that? Us.A sense of achievement that strengthens groups.

A facial expression that is naturally rooted in us humans. We automatically display this when experiencing basic emotions. <\/p> What are the 7 basic emotions?<\/h3> The basic emotions recognized by scientists worldwide such as Paul Ekman are: joy, surprise, fear, anger, disgust, sadness & contempt.<\/p> Feelings.
