Windmills

Game description

Windmills

The windmills start spinning when the players move their hands over them. The longer the movement lasts, the more colourful the mills become. Encourage the players to keep moving, but also to ask for help or take turns. This way, they are challenged both physically and socially.

Tips

Make the game more fun

• Make the playing surface smaller. A single player can now make multiple mills spin at the same time.
• Turn it into a competition by letting everyone spin their own mill as fast as possible.

Level

Level 3

These games work toward a particular goal and require players to memorise things. To play level 3 games, the players need to hold their concentration. Every action is rewarded!

Effect

• 

  Physical effect

  Games with a physical component elicit intuitive movements and respond to even the smallest of hand movements of the players. This increases their self-confidence and motivates them to continue playing and moving.

• 

  Social effect

  Fun is something you experience with each other. Games that stimulate the social domain promote interaction and social contact between the care workers, players and visitors.
