Τhe class was divided into two teams to play Hide and Search. The first group was tasked with hiding the
scales in the school spaces and writing targeted clues to guide the search. The second group, equipped
with observation and logic, followed the clues to find the hidden scales.
The hunt took place through different school spaces, including the gymnasium, library, outdoor courtyard, lobby and classrooms, turning each location into a piece of a mysterious treasure map. With each clue uncovered, enthusiasm grew, fuelling a strong sense of collaboration among the children. In the end, the scales were found!
After that they discussed what they learnt. At the beginning, the links between the proposed activities and the SDGs values were not easy to grasp, because they experienced the activities just as a fun game. But then they were able to make connection and discuss about the relevant topics, including the
importance of having access to school education, the discrimination imposed to those children who cannot go to school and even the fact that, as one of the students said “education means freedom”.
The activity not only brought great fun, but also stimulated active learning, organizational skills and
creativity. Each child participated with energy and involvement, contributing to the success of the adventure in an exciting way. It contributed in learning about the SDGs in more concrete ways, understanding how they are connected to everyday life. Student active participation and enjoying
learning were enhanced.
