    • Game (Beyza) everything is on twin space – songs, words, items in all languages, mat (PDF versions).

    • Beyza has made stickers for the cubes and brought the game mat and pieces (invoices for payment as well)

    • Looked at the game & Beyza explained the rules: Before playing the game sing the song ‘Welcome to our home/own song in own language’. Dice, you walk through the countries, 6 children have headbands with the flag of the country, if they get a country they get the piece and then place it in the place, then they say the word home in that countries home language. They throw the dice to find the different actions and they complete the ones for that country e.g. where it is? How you say hello etc. If they get it right they get a piece of the tangram and then they build it up. There are videos of the pronunciation on the twin space. At the end they can listen to/sing the songs from the other countries.
