Description

An educational game for Brazilian students. The game introduces four influential black Brazilian women on three types of cards: One shows an image, others show biographical information, and some have poems about the women. The poems were written by Brazilian author Jarrid Arraes, whose book Heroínas negras brasileiras was an inspiration for the game.

Each group of students gets an image card and has to research the life of that respective personality (there is a QR code on the image cards which leads to a page with information). After the research phase, each group receives three random cards. The goal is to have a set of cards which all belong to their initial personality. But the poem and biography cards do not show the name of the personality, the students have to figure out which information or poem belongs to their character. The groups can exchange cards with a drawpile or with an open display of cards. Whichever group gets a full set first, wins.
A competitive mode is also included. In this mode, the teacher teaches about one personality, then deals out the cards to the students who have to figure out which cards belong to the character they learned about.
The game is available to teachers as a free print and play.
