Outline of the game
The
Award Ceremony involves ordering
numbers; highest to lowest or lowest to highest.
How to
use the software
The
Award Ceremony requires children to order a given set of random
numbers. There are eleven options within the game. The first five
deal with distances and times. The children therefore need to
be aware that for distance events the largest number must go in
position one on the scoreboard and for timed events the smallest
number must be placed first. The remaining six options are concerned
with ordering whole numbers up to differing sizes.
Having selected
which option to play the scoreboard screen appears. To place a
time/distance on the scoreboard players are required to click
on the country’s flag and then select a position from the ‘POS’
column. If a player wishes to remove a country from the scoreboard
they need to click twice in ‘POS’ column against the country’s
name.
When a player
has ordered all the countries times/distances they must press
the ‘AWARD MEDALS’ button. If the scoreboard is correctly ordered
the award ceremony will begin. If there is a mistake on the scoreboard
the player will be notified of this via a ‘loudspeaker announcement’.
*As
the game generates random times and distances there may be occasions
when two or more countries have the same time/distance. If this
occurs then the player must act as the final judge and decide
which country gets the highest placing.
