The activity involves the children interacting with the humanoid robot Nao, who will provide suggestions for the children to find specific animals within a room. The robot to help them will also be able to make the noises of the animals that the kids need to look for. Once the kids find the animal, they will have to show the robot the Nao mark present on top of the animal or the card representing the animal.
Primary I-II
Human body activity
The activity involves the teacher presenting cards with pictures related to various body parts; Nao will make some body movements and mention the body part he puts into motion, ask the children to imitate the movement and search inside the room for the card that corresponds to the action performed. Once the card is found, the children will have to show it to the robot, which will provide information about the correction of the card found.
