Automatrons game trial#
Through the process of trial and error, the players begin to get in sync with each other.
Comparatively, the Robot now knows that “normal” to the group is slightly slower than what he/she thought, and so they night try and adjust to the group. Now they know that “normal” to the robot is slightly faster than they thought. The players who are not the Robot begin to learn through trial and error, perhaps the first time the Robot was moving at a normal speed, but the players were short of the goal object by two or three. How does Robots do this? In a couple different ways!Īs each player takes turns being the Robot, you get the chance to see and adjust to how they think about time. Our perception of time can be very different from one another and Robots helps kids develop this sense while also learning to adjust to someone else’s sense of time as they see it. What I think is fast, may be someone else’s normal speed. However, what I really think is cool about Robots in how you see just how differently our concept of time is compared to others. It’s so simple, and in many ways doesn’t really feel like a “game” in the traditional sense. What Do We Think?Īt first, I wasn’t quite sure what to think about this game.
Players receive wooden discs according to how close they were to guessing the correct object. The Robot says “beep” to begin, then visually traces the line using only their eyes and says “beep” to end once they’ve reached the item designated by their speed.Īll other players then either together as a group or individually say which item they think the robot stopped at. The number in the corner of the front of the card tells the player acting as the Robot which speed they need to use. On the back of each card is a speed, (slow, normal, and fast,) each with one of the items pictured on the line. On the front of each card is a line with various items along it as well as a number (1,2, or 3) in the corner. It’s just that my fast might be more like your slow. But this is often a hard concept to teach, because we all perceive time and speed the way we do.
In fact, we called his concept of time “Bob Time” because it was sooooo sloooooow even though he thought he was making quick work of whatever it was at the moment.Įveryone perceives time differently, the time something takes and how it “feels” to someone varies greatly. Growing up, we were always sad when my dad said he needed to do something “real quick” because to us, it never meant quick. In Robots, the 2020 Kinderspiel Award nominated game, you’ll be able to introduce the concept of time and how we all perceive it differently to kids in a fun, simple, and engaging way! When someone tells you they’ll be “just a minute,” do you think that means they’ll be fast or slow? How fast is fast, exactly? Is it significantly faster than what you think a normal speed would be?
