One of the remakable moments of this exchange occured when the students showed the games they had ellaborated and whose common topic was LGTB. Students created different games such as memory games, goose games or even a kind of trivial. The aim of this activity is to spread our knowledge while playing. For example, a memory game cards was made with the different flags and colors that represent the LGTB community.
We think this kind of game are necessary at school for different reasons: First they contribute to fight against the ignorance, secondly they make visible the contribution of the LGTB community to our society and culture and finally they help to normalize any kind of gender identity or sexual election. Becuase schools normally suffer a kind of contradiction: On the one hand, we say that being lesbian, for example, is absolutely natural and nothing to be ashame of; but on the other hand students only see heterosexual model. Nor their books, neither their games reproduce any other kind of models, even not the language the teacher use, so our children have to grow up without references, feeling thenselves a kind of exception that is silently tolerated.
On the contrary, we do believe that it is more healthy to grow up with model, with references, feeling that their options are included and respected by all the community. Moreover, heterosexual students will grow up being respectful as their schools have shown them with respect any kind of option.
Here there are some examples, many of the games were physically produced, so we can share them with other nearby schools, our games were also digitally uploaded with common licence, so anyone who whish can use them (https://lgtbatschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/gamification.html)
A quiz game:
Students are divided into international groups and they are asked different questions about LGTB rights all over the world,such as where same gender marriage is allowed...Then they have to show in the map their option. Those who have more right answers are the winners.
Here they are our students explaining their games:
And here they are while playing:
