Games rules

  • Clue distribution

- Team A knows the planets’ properties (taken from expert interviews): they can deduce the planets’ order, but they don’t know the planets’ names;

- Team B knows the planets’ names and some properties (taken from other expert interviews), however, many properties are missing.

  • The teams have to cooperate using a forum to exchange information. Each team can use a chat room to enable their members to have a discussion.
  • The teacher has access to the forum, and can participate in the discussions. S/he can also add new clues to either of the expert interview.
  • The teacher decides when the exchanges are finished. Then, each learner fills in a questionnaire about the planet classification where he must associate the names of the planets to their position relative to the Sun.
  • The winner is the first who gives the right associations : <Planet – Order>. The activity finishes when a winner is nominated.


Note that this situation is quite paradoxical: to win, learners have to help their peers, to win, learners have to make their peers lose!
