City - rally Zagreb

City rally is a game in which students are divided into groups/teams with clearly stated tasks.
The goal is to connect students, complete tasks and have fun while doing so.
The activity begins by dividing the students into groups and giving clear instructions
(mandatory taking a photo in front of a landmark, means of transport and the map of the
route, making a video or a presentation, etc.) and limitations (for example, time). After the
introductory part, students divide tasks among themselves in groups and develop a strategy to
complete all tasks within a certain time frame. At the end of the activity, the students, in
already existing groups, should create a video or a presentation to demonstrate and confirm
that they have completed all the assigned tasks. The students who completed the activity the
fastest, as well as those who created the video or presentation in the most creative way, will
be evaluated.

Description of The activity is aimed at developing the skills of orientation, time

activities: management, teamwork and exploring a new location/city.
Instead of a typical guided tour of Zagreb, students are divided
into (international) teams and have tasks to complete: at each
point/location they need to visit, they have a task and need to
take pictures or record themselves. In this way, they are engaged
and activated during the entire process, and by researching and
completing tasks, they get to know the given location better and
develop their skills. The activity has a game element, as the
tasks must be completed in the shortest possible time, and the
group that completes all the tasks first, i.e. visits all the locations
and takes a short video or photo at each location as proof of the
task's completion, wins.

Outcomes: - students will practice orientation using a digital or

physical map
- students will estimate the distances and time required
and devise the most efficient way to visit all given
locations in the shortest time
- students will connect knowledge from history and art
history and apply them to specific tasks of determining
the artistic style or period for individual buildings
- students will name Zagreb's main squares, museums,
statues, religious buildings and other landmarks, place
them in a historical period and explain why, highlight
important, useful and current facts
- students will use digital technology to better navigate
around the city and to research facts about some
buildings, people or events
 - students will use digital tools to create a presentation
and/or short video.
- students will cooperate responsibly in a team
- students will improve their communication skills in
English

Digital tools: mobile phones, Prezi, Google Slides, Premiere (video maker)

Number of students: 16-20 students

Duration of activities: 3 hours (180 minutes)

Evaluation of activities: The next day, the students in the same group should make a
presentation or a video project in which they should present their
city adventure and prove that they completed all the tasks and
had a lot of fun at the same time.

The game "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" - Trigonometry

The game "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" is known as an entertaining and educational TV

show. As such, it is also very useful in classes where we can use it to repeat learned content.
The game starts with simple questions that, if answered correctly, win small sums of money.
As the contestant advances on the scale, i.e. answers more and more complex questions, the
monetary value for these answers increases. If the contestant manages to answer all the
questions correctly, he wins one million monetary units. Instead of monetary units, students
can be evaluated in a pre-arranged way. Considering the large number of students in the
class, students can be divided into groups of four students each, and compete with each other.

Subjects: Mathematics, Informatics

Description of Using the Millionaire game, the students will repeat the learned
activities: content in mathematics. The students will be divided into groups of
four students and each of them will try to solve 6 questions of
different difficulty and thus become a millionaire. If the student does
not know the correct answer, it is the next student's turn starting from
the beginning. Students in groups can play three rounds. The best
placed students from each group will then compete against each other
by playing the game in two rounds. The sum of the numerical
amounts won is seen in the final standings. The three students with
the most money won will be evaluated with a grade.
Also, if someone reaches millions in the group competition, he no
longer plays and is considered the absolute winner.

Outcomes: - students will define a trigonometric circle

- students will define the relationship between radians and
degrees
- students will relate angles in radians to those in degrees, and
vice versa
- students will define the principal measure of an angle
- students will practice determining the main measure of an
angle
- students will determine the fundamental period of
trigonometric functions on simple and complex examples
- students will repeat the definition of even and odd
trigonometric functions
- students will be able to determine the parity of a function by
applying the properties
- students will determine the value of the function for a certain
angle by reducing it to the first quadrant
- students will determine the quadrant in which a certain angle
is located
- students will be able to determine the values of other
trigonometric functions using the value of one trigonometric
function
- students will be able to calculate the values of complex
trigonometric expressions
- students will cooperate responsibly in the group

TaleBlazer – Augmented Reality for presenting the tourist attractions

Durign the time of the pandemic, hotel and tourism education students from High School Ban
Josip Jelačić in Zaprešić, had to come up with new ways of presenting the tourist attractions
of our city.
Students were using TaleBlazer application. TaleBlazer is the augmented reality (AR)
software platform. By situating games in the real world, AR games seek to engage people in
experiences that combine real landscapes and other aspects of the physical environment with
additional digital information supplied to them by smartphones.

The game is interactive and can be connected to Google Maps, and the questions are
triggered when the tourist approaches the given attraction. The playar is moving around the
location following instruction and map on application. Who manage to visit all location and
answer the question correctly in the shortest period of time – wins!
