Each activity suggests different teaching approaches, promoting collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving in a realistic context.
Activity Suggestions
It is recommended that only one of the suggested activities be carried out
Activity 1 - Digital Detectives 🕵️♂️🔍
> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes
- Objective: Equip students to identify household hazards and propose practical and technological solutions to prevent them, encouraging collaboration and the use of digital tools.
- Description: Students will be divided into groups and will turn their classrooms into a 'detective scenario.' Each group will receive a set of digital clues that represent different types of household accidents. Using their phones and computers, students will seek solutions to prevent the accidents identified in the scenario, compiling their findings into a multimedia presentation.
- Instructions:
-
Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.
-
Distribute 'digital clue cards' among the groups with situations that simulate household accidents (for example, a picture of a poorly placed knife in the kitchen, a cleaning product within reach of a child, etc.).
-
Instruct students to use their phones to research online solutions to prevent the accidents represented in the clues.
-
Ask students to compile their findings and create a multimedia presentation using tools like PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Canva. The presentation should include images, texts, and explanatory videos.
-
At the end, each group will present their solutions to the class, explaining how they arrived at their conclusions and the prevention methods they found. Other groups can ask questions and provide additional suggestions.
Activity 2 - Safety Influencers 👩🎤📱
> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes
- Objective: Raise awareness about household accidents and their prevention through the creative use of social media, promoting communication and creativity skills.
- Description: Students will take on the role of digital influencers and create household safety campaigns using social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok. Each group will choose a type of household accident to focus on and will produce creative videos, photos, and posts to educate their 'followers' about preventing these accidents.
- Instructions:
-
Form groups of up to 5 students and ask them to choose a type of household accident to address (for example, accidents involving electricity, cleaning products, etc.).
-
Instruct students to create a fake account on a social network or use tools like Canva to simulate posts.
-
Ask groups to create a series of posts, including short videos, photos, and captions that explain the risks and provide prevention tips for the chosen type of accident.
-
Students can use features like filters, stickers, and music to make their posts more engaging.
-
At the end, each group will share their campaigns with the class, showcasing the posts and explaining the creative process and the safety information included.
Activity 3 - Super Safe Game 🎮🛡️
> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes
- Objective: Teach household accident prevention practices in a playful and collaborative manner, using gamification to increase engagement and knowledge retention.
- Description: In this gamified activity, students will participate in a digital board game where they face various challenges related to household safety. Using a gamification app, they will work in teams to solve problems, answer quizzes, and complete missions that teach household accident prevention.
- Instructions:
-
Divide students into groups of up to 5 and provide access to a gamification app (like Classcraft or Kahoot with custom games).
-
Explain the rules of the game and the objectives: each team must advance through the digital board by completing missions and answering questions about accident prevention.
-
Missions may include tasks such as identifying mistakes in photos of homes, answering interactive quizzes about safety, and proposing solutions for simulated danger scenarios.
-
With each completed mission, the team earns points and advances on the board. The group with the most points at the end of the game wins.
-
During the game, monitor and provide support to the teams as needed, encouraging collaboration and discussion about best safety practices.
