Smart Poster — Sharp Eyes… is a complex project that offers a variety of materials which are useful for creating fun games for kindergarten children. Through the use of these games, which are of the “seek and find” nature where an understanding and description of illustrated situations is practiced, attention, observation, visual memory and linguistic enrichment skills are practiced and consolidated. These skills are the basic skills precursors of scholastic learning.
The proposed games, divided into three levels of difficulty, can be played in small groups and customized from time to time to the needs of children who are given simple roles with the aim of collaborating in order to carry out the activity.
