GYMKHANA
Our gymkhana was a playful activity that fulfilled several objectives: the knowledge and
respect for the environment, the interpretation of poetry, the consolidation of a spirit of
the group, by working in teams, and the use ICT (Information and Communication
Technology).
The methodology used was that of learning through discovery. In order to do this, a
series of poems were designed in which after reading they had to find out where to go
and, once in the place indicated, they had to pass some tests such as a tandem, a
mathematical calculation, or a dance, among others. With each passed test, they were
given a letter with which they would finally solve the code required to win the gymkha-
na. With this activity, students benefited from teamwork, since all of them had to col-
laborate, live together, talk and respect others.
