dear all
i would like to know if you have ideas or experiences related to a Wikipedia game.
we are planning December 17th an event in Esino Lario[1] to involve young people in
understanding Wikipedia. We expect a group of 24 kids between 9 and 14 years old for a 1H
or 1H30 session. we think they are the best ambassadors.
we would to organize the event as a detective game/treasure hunt played in teams.
teams will be asked to answer questions and accomplish some tasks.
Using Wikipedia as a source of information
1) collecting simple information (i.e. are you older or younger of the Ninja
Turtle/Wolverine? How many wives had Henry VIII and how many he made him killing?)
2) asking about who is someone (i.e. sport protagonist, singer...)
3) maybe checking a reference?
Discovering what Wikipedia is
1) understanding you can modify it
2) finding the help pages to answer a question
3) finding a mistake
Making an edit
1) maybe registering a personal account
2) asking a question to the community (?)
3) correcting a mistake
please let me know if you have any experience, documentation or recommendation about it.
thank you very much
