Poisonous Mushroom

Poisonous Mushroom is a game in which children practice recognizing letters or numbers. The collector’s task is to touch the letters or numbers one by one while the others say them aloud.

Instructions

  • One child leaves the room for a moment, and the other children, together with an adult, agree on one letter or number that is “poisonous mushroom”.
  • The collector returns to the room and begins to touch the letters or numbers one by one. The others repeat out loud the letter or number that the collector touches.
  • When the collector touches the toadstool, the others shout “POISONOUS MUSHROOM!” and run away. The collector tries to catch someone.
  • The child who is caught acts as the collector in the next round.

Functional learning

Functionality is a natural way for children to learn. Children learn best when they are allowed to move, experiment, act and participate themselves. In this case, learning takes place through diverse sensations. Movement and activity support concentration, coping and motivation to learn. When doing feels meaningful and inspiring, joy is created, experiences of success and enthusiasm to learn more are created.

During functional moments, learning takes place in interaction and by doing together. When children work together, they practice listening, taking turns, paying attention to others and following common rules. Cooperation skills develop naturally as part of play and activity.

In functional learning, the focus is on child-centeredness and children's own way of learning. Adults create an interesting, safe and inspiring learning environment for children, where they dare to try, make mistakes and succeed. Movement and diverse sensations are utilized as part of learning, which makes things easier to remember.
