Following my post about children’s books, I also saw this game at the IDP centre. Rather than being competitive, it’s a way of generating necessary discussions with/among children.
Blue cards are objects, yellow cards are warnings, and green cards are actions. The child has to mix and match different combinations, considering how well they work together, and exactly what they would do in that situation. For example, if you find a mine hidden under a toy, you could tell a grown-up. If you see an improvised explosive device, you should be careful and remember where you found it.
I’ve translated the headings.
I have to admit, this game is a little sophisticated for me, as I don’t quite understand how the State Rescue Service is an action or Responsibility for Others/Carefulness are warnings, but maybe my translation is at fault. In any case, you get the idea: Top Trumps: Ages 5-9 Survival Edition. As my friend put it, ‘without these games, children might die’. Of course, thousands of them are dying anyway, due to the invaders’ predilection for outright murder, but Ukrainian adults are doing whatever is within their power to protect them.
Even in a best-case scenario, these cards are what ‘peace’ will look like, for a long time after the war.
You have to call State Rescue Service. It is an action
"What peace will look like": as usual, you touch the heart of the matter. In my area of Italy, there are explosive devices from WW1 being found, 96 years after that war ended, to say nothing of WW2.
