Danish kindergarten among the first to use Wizefloor Go
10/02/2020
A flexible solution that is easy to move from space to space and stimulates the movement of children who are reluctant to physical activity in certain circumstances.
This is the experience of a Danish kindergarten, which has been using Wizefloor Go for the past year. The children use their hands and feet on the interactive floor to interact with the different games, thus training their collaborative skills.
Fully mobile
So far the interactive floor has only been available in a permanent ceiling-mounted version, but now you can get a mobile unit on wheels which includes a camera, projector, and PC. This allows you to set up Wizefloor with ease in any room. Flexibility is particularly important when dealing with children with special educational needs. This means that you can move the interactive floor into the exact room where the child has its safe base.
It gives us flexibility in being able to create a different 'room inside the room', and to our children with special educational needs it means that we can try out new sensory impressions in a well-known physical space.

Bringing children to the floor
The kindergarten has particularly used Wizefloor Go to create appropriate, alternative learning situations and give the children alternative sensory experiences. For the small children in the nursery, Wizefloor Go has programmes with for example flowers or stars which must be stepped on in order to stimulate physical activity. For the kindergarten group, there are a lot of learning games and activities that work really well in collaboration with an educator who initiates the games.
Many children are watching with interest from the sideline to see what is going on. But it also stimulates movement of children who are otherwise reluctant to physical activity. It seems as if the image on the floor gets so exciting and calls for movement that they cannot resist.

It is interesting to see how long the special educational needs children spend on the floor, as they are easily caught and filled with impressions.
“They are highly motivated and completely absorbed by the floor and they can concentrate for a longer time than with other activities. It is definitely a positive step,” she says.
