Our Project

Scenario

Parents were shocked to find out that excessive use of touchscreen devices like i-pads and smartphones can hamper a child‘s development and lead to many harmful effects.

Our group chose to work on task 3 as it allows us to design and invent a toy/game.

Task 3- Design & Invent ‘Go Green’

• To help parents save cost by designing and creating a safe, low-cost educational toy game for children to play with.

• Our game is also environmentally friendly and cost effective as we used mostly recyclable materials to create our game.

• Our game is aimed to develop a healthy lifestyle.

Why are we doing this project?

• Make our own game

• Try something different to challenge ourselves.

• To achieve school’s Vision, Mission and Values

• To develop the 3Cs (curiosity, confidence and

cooperation)

Our targets

Our targets are:

1. Enjoy our project work.

2. Finish the project on time.

3. Make a fun game so that others will be interested to play.

4. Score an average of A for project work

SurveyFrom the games that we came up with, we decided to do a survey.The survey had 2 questions.1) What is your favourite game?2) Why is it your favourite game?

The Top 3 Games are:

1) Maze

2) Snake and Ladder

3) Pick-up Sticks & Chapteh (Tie)

Most students like the games because it is exciting!

Choosing our game

• We decided to choose Chapteh because other groups were doing ‘Maze’ and ‘Snake & Ladder’.

• We chose Chapteh over Pick-up Sticks because Chapteh is more exciting!

Modifying our Game

Modification Reason/s for modification

Using hands to throw instead of legs to kick.

We did it because we felt that not everyone can play ‘Chapteh’ especially the younger children

Included a score system Increase the challenge

Change from a traditional ‘Chapteh’ to a paper ball.

Recyclable material

In the end, we came up with our modified ‘Chapteh’. We named it the ‘Paper Ball Toss’ game!

Problems and Solutions Problems Solutions

We do not know what

game/toy to make.

We asked our teacher for help and he gave us some guiding questions. He

told us to think about some of the games/toys we like.

We quarrelled and cannot work

well together.

Mr Shahrin and Mr Daniel asked us what our goal was and does quarrel

help us achieve our goal. They also told us to take a time out from doing

our project.

In the end, we managed to work together to finish the project.

The paper ball kept opening

and was too light

Mr Daniel gave us some hint on how to keep the paper ball together and

add some weight. We figured that the solution was tape.

Using tape to wrap the paper also added some protection to the balls.

We were scared that we will

forget what to say for our

presentation.

Mr Daniel and Mr Shahrin told us to write our scripts and bring them

home to practice.

We did not know what to type

for our presentation

Mr Shahrin guided us through the process.

We did not know how to make

our design nicer.

We asked our teachers and friends for ideas.

• Conduct a survey on how to improve to other P3 kids in other

schools.

• We can search for better recycled materials to make our game,

so that it will be more durable.

• We can learn from our mistakes.

• Conduct a survey yearly to see if students still think our game is

still fun.

• Research on ways to improve on our game.
