A project implemented in a pre-school class.

1. Project:
Knights,
a quest in
Middle Ages

3. Project Emergence
During a discussion the children mentioned a game
in an educational software they usually used in
free-play and requested information about knights.
They wanted to know more about them and that
was our key to unlock the door of an educational
quest.
