EspalocaQ
Arousing imagination
Human imagination and the ability to turn fantasies into reality are skills that can be trained. When constructing with the simple wooden cubes, full attention can be devoted to the spatial imagination.
Game idea
The cube structures are placed freely or according to the instructions from the game manual onto the template cards. If the natural wooden cubes are described by a partner or group, the coordinates on the layout map serve as orientation.
Cognitive training
EspalocaQ is used for versatile promotion of cognitive abilities. The structures can, for example, be counted and assessed by building blocks; players can measure them or even redraw them. Modeling into 2-dimensional form is a real challenge and makes players proud of the newly obtained template card. The game manual contains additional suggestions for tasks that, among other things, challenge the players' problem-solving skills.
Communication training & promotion of team and empathy skills
Positional terms such as right, left or also to the right of, above, behind, on can be trained in verbal instructions. Of course, clear communication and the auditory perception of the partner are required here. In this way EspalocaQ also promotes team skills and empathy by putting oneself in the partner's position.
Versatile use
Players can start individually, in pairs or in small groups. In addition, EspalocaQ is ideal for independent free work, station-based learning, as a learning game and as a model for stimulating presentations.
Natural materials
Learning with natural materials is something very special. The pleasant surface of the untreated wooden cubes invites active exploration of new constructions.
Imagine. Communicate. Solve problems. That is EspalocaQ by KRAFT.
