Dobble játékvariációk - Logopédia mindenkinek A Dobble játékot az I. kerületi Pedagógiai Szakszolgálattól kaptam a kétnyelvűség témakörben tartott előadásomért, 2014-ben, az Európai logopédia napján. Nagyon örültem neki. Azóta felfedeztem, hogy egy népszerű, a gyermekek által kedvelt és ismert játékról van szó. A játékszabálya nagyon egyszerű, hasonlít a Bataflash-hoz. A játékszabály egyszerűsége teszi nagyon vonzóvá a játékot a gyermekek szemében. A kártyákat elfelezzük a két játékos között. A játék nagyon szórakoztató, a gyermekek észre sem veszik, hogy egy komoly fejlesztőjátékról van szó. A Dobble rajongóknak találtam pár új letölthető és otthon könnyen elkészíthető játékvariációt, ezekkel variálni lehet az alapjátékot, hogy ne unják meg a gyermekek: Harry Potter témakör - Iskola témakör (szókincsfejlesztésre is alkalmazható) - Halloween Csillagászat Karácsony Betűk és formák
