Abstract

Learning in groups have different potential benefits for chil- dren. They have the opportunity to solve problems together, to share experiences and to develop social skills. However, from teachers point of view, creating a safe and inclusive pos- itive environment for children is not an simple task since each child has differences that represent a challenge for imple- menting effectively group dynamics. The focus of this work is the design of a system that motivates children to approach to others and create opportunities of social interaction. The system creates a fun and enjoyable situation that is always supervised by the teacher, who can monitor and change the group dynamics at any moment during the activity.
