PROCEDURE

The game will be used at the end of the lesson in order to evaluate the students’ learning about health problems. The game’s original name is fruit basket. This games need to play huge area so the teacher decides to play this game in the garden. It is played with whole class. The students form a circle. However one of the students will be “it” in the circle. For the original game, some fruits are decided and they are given as a name to the students. For example, I choose 3 fruits and I begin to give the students: 1^st one is plum, 2^nd is strawberry, 3^rd is apple and after apple I begin from the first fruit so I give plum to 4^th  person, strawberry 5^th person, apple 6^th person. It goes on like this until all students are given fruits. Then the teachers says one of the fruits “for ex. Apple”, after she say “apple” chance their positions with other apples in that case it tries to find place for her. If she finds a place, the person who stays out of the circle will be it. If the teacher says “fruit basket” whole students change their positions with each others. The one who stays out of the circle will be it again. The teacher can adapt this game according to unit health problems. She decides 5 illnesses (headache, sneezing, cough, broken arm, flu). She applies in the same way but instead of saying fruit basket she says HOSPITAL.
