An interactive, experiential game, especially for young ages, is considered as the most effective means of education.
Safe Water Sports Organization’s educational program “travels’’ across all elementary schools of the Greek periphery, through a specially designed suitcase which is approved by the Ministry of Education" (click here to read the Approval).
The purpose of the Program is to inform all students about the basic guidelines and give advice regarding what they need to know about their safety at sea, water, beach and water sports.
The "training suitcase" was designed by educators, psychologists and graphic designers for children aged 5-11 (Kindergarten and Primary School). The teacher/educator can perform all the activities of the suitcase without being obliged to have any special knowledge.
The suitcase includes not only games but also many suggested individual and group educational activities such as:
- Informational material for the teacher or the person who is in charge to perform the activities
- Representation of a beach (in puzzle format) with Playmobil toys
- Illustrated card guidelines and advice concerning safety at sea and water
- Observation games in order for the children to find the errors
- Board games
- Memory cards
- Constructions
- Color books
- Story cubes (cubes with images to capture children's imagination) and many more
- CD with songs by Safe Water Sports
- The fairy tale "The Octopus Safe and the Three Seaguards" written by Vangelis Eliopoulos and published by PATAKIS publications
The suitcase is suitable for schools, children's camps, hotels, swimming pool centers, etc.
