The proposed activity includes an educational game with discussion and reflections on the covid-19 pandemic, which began in March 2020 and is still ongoing. In particular, the activity aims to explain to children with simple but scientifically rigorous language some words that have become the protagonists of their lives in recent months (coronavirus, covid-19, pandemic, tampon, vaccine, lockdown, mask, sanitizer). As well as to discuss together the emotions that accompany these words and that we have experienced during this pandemic. The activity is offered to children of two different age groups (3-6 years and 10-12), keeping both the theme (covid-19 pandemic) and the scheme (didactic game with discussion), but varying the modality game proposed to adapt it to the age range of the participants.
